Overview
Nigara Hamono’s 210 mm Gyuto is a compact powerhouse that blends workhorse grind with show-piece style. A razor-hard SG2 powder-steel core delivers carbon-like sharpness and months of edge life, while rugged kurouchi tsuchime stainless cladding shrugs off rust in busy kitchens. The gently curved edge tackles everything from onions to rib-eye, and the full-tang Western handle—set with shimmering abalone-resin scales and a nickel-silver bolster—adds confident balance and jaw-dropping flair at the board.
Common Questions
Q: What is the true cutting edge length?
A: Nigara measures from the neck (machi), so the sharpened edge runs about 198–200 mm—plenty for daily prep without feeling oversized.
Q: How does SG2 compare to other stainless steels?
A: At 62–63 HRC, SG2 holds an edge dramatically longer than VG-10 or AUS-10 while remaining fully stainless, so you get carbon-like performance with easy care.
Q: Will the abalone-resin handle last in a pro kitchen?
A: Yes. The shell is pressure-stabilized in waterproof resin, making it as durable as Micarta—simply hand-wash and dry to keep the shimmer bright.
