This handcrafted Japanese knife embodies the expertise of Nigara Hamono, based in Hirosaki, Japan. Heir to know-how handed down through several generations, this forge designs blades that combine traditional aesthetics with performance adapted to modern cooks. This 20cm chef's knife is designed to accompany all your everyday cuts with precision. Its damascus design, combined with wave-shaped hammering, gives it a strong visual identity while enhancing comfort of use.
The 20cm blade features a damascened structure composed of several layers of steel superimposed around a rigid central core. This design protects the core of the blade while providing a good balance between strength, flexibility against impact and cutting performance.
The core is made of Japanese VG10 steel, an alloy enriched with approximately 1% carbon. This composition enables a hardness of 60 HRC on the Rockwell scale. The result is a long-lasting cutting edge, suitable for regular use in the kitchen.
The hammering, recognizable by its wave-like pattern, is not limited to aesthetics. It reduces the adherence of food to the blade during cutting, offering smoother cutting action. Damascus, on the other hand, reveals subtle, unique patterns that reinforce the artisanal character of the piece.
The handle is made from walnut wood, a species appreciated for its strength and durability. Its timeless color and natural grain add a touch of understated elegance, perfectly in tune with the Japanese spirit.
Its octagonal shape ensures a comfortable, ergonomic grip. It allows good control of the gesture and is suitable for both right-handed and left-handed users. This design also favors balanced weight distribution, making it pleasant to use even during prolonged sessions.
The assembly between the blade and the handle is carefully crafted to ensure a good seal and reliable use over time.
Wash your knife by hand with a soft sponge after each use, then dry it immediately with a clean cloth. Forget the dishwasher and prolonged immersion.
Use a wooden or plastic board to preserve the cutting edge. Regular sharpening with a stone will maintain its performance over time.
