Nigara Hamono SPG STRIX Santoku 165mm

The Nigara Hamono STRIX series is crafted in Japan from blade-oriented powdered steel, a premium stainless steel known for its smaller carbides, which brings out exceptional sharpness. With a solid hardness of around 64 HRC, the STRIX knives stand out for their impressive feel, top-notch performance, and well-thought-out geometry. The classic Ebony wood handle, accented by a dark buffalo horn ferrule, adds a touch of elegance that’s both timeless and designed to impress.

Santoku knives are the ‘go-to’ knives for many chef's as they are known as a general-purpose kitchen knife. Santoku translates to 'three uses' or 'three virtues' and are ideal for slicing, chopping, and dicing as they feature a straight edge with a narrow foot blade. They are highly appreciated by users doing a lot of precision work thanks to the light, narrow blade, which can make extra thin cuts. While they are greatly suited for all, because of their smaller size, they tend to heavily please the chefs with smaller hands.
