This is a Nigara Anmon SG2 Damascus Gyuto 210mm, the all-purpose chef's shape for the home kitchen.
Anmon is Nigara's signature pattern: a rippling raindrop figure worked into twenty-five layers of forged Damascus cladding, the marking the listing calls distinctive of Tsugaru forging and an original technique of the Nigara forge in Hirosaki. The name and the look come from the Anmon Waterfalls down from the Shirakami mountains, whose rippling water the smiths set out to catch on the blade. The core is SG2 powdered stainless at HRC62 to HRC64, the listing's pick for the best balance of edge retention, toughness and ease of sharpening among powdered steels. The handle is an octagonal birch burl with a spacer.
The listing's spec table puts this one at a 198mm edge and 175g.
Wash with a neutral detergent after use and wipe it dry rather than putting it in the dishwasher, which would damage the wood handle, and sharpen it on a waterstone when it needs it.
Most of our products are handmade in Japan, and sometimes the one that you receive maybe slightly different to the photo. This is very common and in no way it will affect the performance of the product.
