The blade is thin behind the edge, smooth through food and precise in hand — exactly the kind of cutting feel that makes SG2 such a popular choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen there’s the signature raindrop Damascus. Inspired by the Anmon waterfalls near the Shirakami mountains, the pattern has a lot of movement and depth, and every blade comes out a little different.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor this version, we paired it with a blue stabilized wood Wa-handle shaped with a more Western-inspired profile and finished with stainless accents. The stabilized wood gives it a richer, more premium look while also helping with resistance to moisture and movement over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe deep blue works especially well against the bold Damascus pattern, while the stainless adds a clean, modern touch. It’s a less traditional combination than the usual wood-and-horn setup, but it fits the Anmon perfectly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou still get everything that makes this series so good — SG2 performance, Nigara craftsmanship and that unmistakable raindrop Damascus — finished with a handle that gives the knife a completely different personality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA modern, premium take on one of Nigara’s most recognizable series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Made in Japan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51679461277929,"sku":null,"price":675.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/4368\/6711\/files\/DSC_0027.png?v=1786921435","url":"https:\/\/kakushin.ca\/products\/nigara-sg2-anmon-damascus-stab-epoxy-bunka-180mm","provider":"Kakushin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
