Nigara STRIX Tsuchime Damascus Gyuto 210mm - Custom Wa Handle

Nigara STRIX Gyuto with Custom Wa Handle

Flowing Damascus lines and a bright hammered finish give this Nigara STRIX Gyuto its distinctive character. Made by Nigara Hamono in Hirosaki, Japan, it combines a STRIX powdered stainless-steel core with stainless Damascus cladding and a versatile double-bevel gyuto profile for everyday kitchen preparation.

This is the 210mm size class, with a measured cutting-edge length of 195mm. The fine tip is useful for precise work, while the gently curved edge suits slicing, push cuts and controlled rocking through vegetables, herbs and boneless meat or fish.
