Nigara Hamono SG2 Kurouchi Tsuchime Petty 150mm - Pisau Jepang Artisan

Nigara Hamono carries over 350 years of tradition, beginning with sword-making for the Tsugaru clan in the early Edo period. For eight generations, its expertise and artistry have been passed down.
The 5th generation blacksmith, Kunitoshi Nigara, was a legendary swordsmith who received numerous honors, titles, and even knighthood. Today, the 8th generation blacksmith, Tsuyoshi Yoshizawa, continues the legacy with the guidance of his father Toshiju Yoshizawa, whose passion for art and music inspired Nigara’s iconic Anmon pattern—directly influenced by Andy Warhol’s works.
Nigara’s expansion into construction steelworks provides unrivaled in-house knowledge of advanced metal finishing, setting the brand apart as one of the most distinctive knife makers in Japan.
