Overview
If you’re looking for a Damascus-clad kitchen knife that merges over 350 years of blacksmithing heritage with modern craftsmanship, the Nigara Aogami Super Migaki Tsuchime 240mm Gyuto is your answer. Handmade in Aomori prefecture, Nigara Hamono not only produces exquisite cutlery but also fabricates steel beams for buildings—showcasing their unmatched expertise in steelwork.
This 240mm gyuto features a unilateral migaki finish and a striking tsuchime (hammered) pattern, highlighting the beauty of three subtle shades of gray. At the heart of this blade is Aogami Super steel, prized for its razor-sharp edge and excellent edge retention. Whether you’re slicing larger cuts of meat or conquering grand meal-prep tasks, this extra length brings enhanced versatility and precision.
Common Questions
Q: Is a 240mm gyuto too large for everyday kitchen tasks?
A: Many chefs (and serious home cooks) swear by the extra length. It handles big ingredients with ease, yet remains nimble enough to finely mince garlic or herbs—proving that size doesn’t limit precision.
Q: How do I care for Aogami Super carbon steel?
A: Wipe and dry it immediately after use to prevent rust. Occasional oiling of the blade, especially if you won’t use it for a while, helps maintain its condition. Always hand-wash and store it safely.
Q: What’s special about Nigara Hamono’s forging process?
A: With centuries of smithing expertise, they blend tradition and innovation—resulting in unique Damascus patterns and superior steel treatment that makes their knives stand out.
