Nigara STRIX Tsuchime Migaki Santoku (universal knife) 180 mm -blade only-
Nigara STRIX Tsuchime Migaki Santoku
At the heart of every STRIX knife is STRIX Powder Steel, one of the hardest stainless steels in the world. This steel can be sharpened to a razor-sharp edge and retains its sharpness exceptionally well thanks to a hardness of 65 HRC. The core is surrounded by 32 layers of softer stainless steel, forged with a unique finish. The subtle hammer marks (dimples) in these layers help prevent food from sticking while cutting, making kitchen work smoother and more enjoyable.
This blade is supplied without a handle, giving you the option to fit your own handle or select a beautiful handle from our exclusive collection—so you can create a truly unique knife.
The Santoku is a versatile Japanese kitchen knife designed as an all-purpose tool. With its wide blade and relatively flat profile, the Santoku excels at chopping, slicing, and finely cutting vegetables, fish, and boneless meats. The straight edge is ideal for push-cutting techniques, while the added blade height provides comfortable knuckle clearance on the cutting board.
Thanks to its combination of power, precision, and versatility, the Santoku is a popular choice for anyone who wants one knife that can handle almost anything in the kitchen.
