Nigara SG2 – Kurouchi Tsuchime Kiritsuke Nakiri 180mm

This nakiri pairs a powdered-steel SG2 core with a rustic kurouchi and hammered tsuchime finish, giving it both high-end performance and traditional Japanese character. SG2 provides excellent wear resistance, corrosion resistance and long-lasting sharpness with a fine, smooth cutting feel. The wide nakiri blade excels at vegetable breakdown, while the kiritsuke-style tip adds versatility. The kurouchi coating helps protect the cladding and enhances the blade’s natural texture, making this a standout modern-meets-traditional vegetable knife.
