Nigara STRIX Tsuchime Migaki Gyuto (chef’s knife) 240 mm -blade only-
Nigara STRIX Tsuchime Migaki Gyuto
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 Gyuto is the Japanese equivalent of the classic chef’s knife and a true all-rounder in the kitchen. With its long, slim blade, it glides smoothly and with control through meat, fish, and vegetables, while the fine tip is perfect for precision work such as trimming, portioning, and making delicate cuts. The Gyuto often feels light and well balanced in hand, allowing you to work quickly without sacrificing control. Whether you’re chopping, slicing thin cuts, or finely mincing ingredients, a Japanese Gyuto is the one knife that can handle almost everything.
