This Nigara Hamono SG2 Tsuchime Kurouchi Petty 150 mm Japanese knife embodies the traditional craftsmanship of the Nigara forge in Aomori. Designed in a style that is both functional and refined, it features an SG2 (R2) steel blade, a high-end powder steel known for its exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance.
The blade features a san-mai construction, with a hard SG2 core covered with stainless steel. Its hammered kurouchi (tsuchime) finish gives it a raw look while reducing food adhesion thanks to the textured patterns. The shiny polish of the cutting edge highlights the sharp transition between the SG2 steel core and the coating.
With a length of 150 mm, this petty knife offers excellent maneuverability for precision tasks such as peeling, slicing small fruits, herbs, or vegetables, or trimming meat. Its thin blade allows for smooth, controlled cutting, while offering a light and balanced feel in the hand.
The stabilized birch handle complements the aesthetics of the blade. Each piece is unique, with the natural patterns of the wood varying slightly from one knife to another.
SG2 steel is stainless, so maintenance is simple: just rinse and wipe the knife thoroughly after use. Regular sharpening on a fine water stone will maintain a high level of sharpness for many years.
