Nigara Hamono
For more than 350 years, the Yoshizawa family has been forging steel into works of art. What began in the age of the samurai with the crafting of swords now lives on in the exceptional knives of Nigara Hamono. Passed down from generation to generation, this tradition is carried today by the 8th-generation blacksmith Tsuyoshi Yoshizawa, who, under the guidance of his father, blends centuries-old craftsmanship with modern innovation. Each knife is more than a tool – it tells the story of Japanese forging heritage.
One of the most striking examples of this legacy is the STRIX Series. These knives immediately stand out with their powerful presence: a refined combination of damascus patterns and a hammered finish that catches the light beautifully. Every detail is carefully finished by hand, and when you look closely, you can see the dedication and precision that goes into every single knife.
At the heart of each STRIX knife lies STRIX Powder Steel, one of the hardest stainless steels in the world. It can be sharpened to a razor edge and, with a hardness of 65 HRC, it stays sharp for an exceptionally long time. Surrounding the core are 32 layers of softer stainless steel, forged with a distinctive finish. The subtle dimples in these layers ensure food sticks less while cutting, making your work in the kitchen smoother and more enjoyable.
The knife is completed with an octagonal handle made from rosewood and horn. This not only gives it a luxurious appearance but also provides perfect balance and a comfortable grip, making it feel like a natural extension of your hand.
With the STRIX Series, you are not just bringing a kitchen knife into your home – you are bringing a piece of Japanese tradition, where craftsmanship, strength, and elegance come together in perfect harmony.
