Overview
The Nigara SG-STRIX Gyuto 210mm — No Handle is a high-performance, blade-only gyuto designed for makers and cooks who prefer a custom wa handle build. The SPG-STRIX powdered stainless core is hardened to roughly 64–65 HRC and clad in soft stainless with a distinctive tsuchime damascus finish. Expect thin, precise geometry with a lively tip and confident food release. Because this is the no-handle version, it ships as a finished blade with exposed tang—ready for your favorite wa handle (epoxy fit) and balance point of choice.
Care tip: Hand wash and dry promptly. Maintain bite with gentle stropping on our XL leather strop. For an elite starting edge, add our professional sharpening service and always use a soft board like the Hasegawa Pro.
Common Questions
Q: What does “No Handle” mean here?
A: You’re purchasing the blade only. The tang is prepared for a standard wa handle install. Dry-fit your handle, epoxy in, align spine and edge, then let cure fully before use.
Q: Is SPG-STRIX stainless?
A: Yes. Both the core and cladding are stainless. It shrugs off discoloration better than carbon steels, but you’ll still get best results by washing and drying right after prep.
Q: How does SPG-STRIX compare to SG2/R2?
A: All are premium powdered stainless steels with excellent edge retention. SPG-STRIX is tuned for very high hardness with fine sharpenability and excellent corrosion resistance—great for thin, laser-style geometry.
