Nigara Hamono Forge is one of Japan's leading swordsmiths, with a 350-year history in Hirosaki City, Aomori Prefecture.
Ordered by the Tsugaru domain to make swords, the company once manufactured not only swords but also cannons and warships, and today it has been designated as a factory certified by the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. Its high level of technical skill and craftsmanship has been passed down through generations.
In addition to careful craftsmanship backed by a long history and traditional techniques, Nigara's knives use the latest high-performance steel and cutting-edge designs that are recognized overseas, creating a unique worldview that only Nigara can achieve.
Nigara Hamono has inherited the traditional forging techniques from the time of the samurai. This is a double-edged knife that combines traditional techniques with modern materials.
Specifications: Each knife is handmade, so the size, weight, and blade finish may vary.
