Nigara Hamono K-Tip Slicer 255mm Aogami Super

kr.2.799,00

Nigara Hamono from the Aomori region of Japan is a very interesting forge. The main blacksmith, Go Yoshizawa is probably one of the most innovative in the game. He keeps pushing and exploring new methods and ways to display his amazing craft. The result of his distinctive way of working can be seen especially in his "Trollkiller", "Anmon" and "Kurozome" knives.

These knives are a little more 'simple' than the ones mentioned above. They are made with Aogami Super (blue super) in the core, which is hardened to 63-64 HRC surrounded by a stainless cladding. Although the finish is not as complex as some of their other products, it is still definitely something to notice. They are finished with a relatively dark migaki and very eye-catching tsuchime at the top of the blade, which meets a super nice kasumi further down towards the egg.

This knife is a gyuto , which is also popularly just called a chef's knife. This is 21 cm, and it is used for most tasks in the kitchen and is particularly good for slicing and chopping tasks in both meat and vegetables.
