The Nigara Hamono STRIX series is crafted in Japan from blade-oriented powdered steel, a premium stainless steel known for its smaller carbides, which brings out exceptional sharpness. With a solid hardness of around 64 HRC, the STRIX knives stand out for their impressive feel, top-notch performance, and well-thought-out geometry. The classic Ebony wood handle, accented by a dark buffalo horn ferrule, adds a touch of elegance that’s both timeless and designed to impress.
