Nigara Hamono SG Strix Bunka 17 cm Buffalo

The Nigara Hamono SG Strix Bunka 17 cm Buffalo is a high-quality kitchen knife made of modern SG Strix steel, which combines the properties of stainless and powdered steel. Its hardness of 64–65 HRC ensures exceptional edge durability and long-lasting sharpness, while maintaining very good corrosion resistance. This steel is also easy to sharpen and resistant to minor mechanical damage, which translates into functionality in everyday kitchen work.

The blade is finished with Damascus technology, with a subtle tsuchime (hammered) pattern, which not only emphasizes the aesthetics of the knife, but also reduces the sticking of cut products. The Bunka profile with a clearly marked tip allows for precise cutting, whether working with meat, vegetables, or fish.

The Wa (Japanese) style handle is made of durable walnut wood with an elegant buffalo horn ferrule. The octagonal shape ensures a secure grip and comfortable work, even during prolonged use. The well-balanced design increases control over the knife and facilitates maneuvering.
