An In Depth Look

Blade Type
Blade Type

The Petty is your smaller knife for delicate work. Think mincing garlic, trimming up chicken thighs or meats, skinning fruit, and just about anything else the Bunka or Gyuto is too large for. It's an essential part of your knife range and we use ours almost daily.

Steel Type
Steel Type Read

SG2 is considered by many as the best knifemaking steel in Japan. It gives all the benefits of carbon steel (very long edge retention, general ease of sharpening) without the carbon steel stresses of maintenance. It'll hold an edge for a long time, and can quickly and easily be refreshed on a whetstone or ceramic honing steel.

Care Information
Care Information Read

Hand wash only, never put in a dishwasher. Dry immediately after washing. Store on a magnetic knife strip or in a saya. Sharpen on a whetstone when the blade dulls. Read our full maintenance guide for more information.

Nigara Hamono of Aomori are truly some of the most experienced knifemakers in Japan. Headed by Go-Yoshizawa San whom we met personally in 2023 (what a legend), they are now on their 8th generation of blacksmiths, they are masters at stainless Damascus forging and heat treatment. They supply knives of impeccable finish with some of the best performing knives we've come across. They can also do it all, from forging Honyaki, experimenting with new steels and wild finishes, to creating flawless daily workhorse knives that don't break the bank.
