NIGARA VGXEOS KUROUCHI DAMASCUS NAKIRI 165MM OCTAGONAL EBONY HANDLE
Nigara Hamono, based in Aomori, Japan, has over 350 years of forging history, rooted in traditional swordsmithing. Today, they produce everything from kitchen knives to structural steel for buildings.
VGXEOS is a new high-performance steel developed by Takefu Special Steel Co., Ltd., designed to meet today’s demands for hygiene, durability, and sharpness.
By combining high hardness with excellent corrosion resistance, VGXEOS overcomes the traditional trade-off between strength and rust protection. Its fine microstructure, created through a special melting process, also boosts wear resistance and edge retention.
