Nigara’s Aogami Super Tsuchime line of kitchen knives is the perfect blend of traditional craftsmanship and high-performance materials. Made with premium Aogami Super carbon steel, these knives offer unparalleled sharpness and edge retention, making them ideal for precision cutting tasks. The core of Aogami Super steel is wrapped in a protective stainless steel cladding, which not only enhances durability but also makes maintenance easier, reducing the need for constant care typically required by high-carbon knives.

The knives also feature a stunning tsuchime (hammered) pattern, which adds an artisanal aesthetic while improving food release during slicing. This combination of beauty and function ensures a smooth, effortless cutting experience, whether you’re handling delicate vegetables or tougher cuts of meat. Designed for both professional chefs and home cooks, Nigara’s Aogami Super Tsuchime knives are a testament to Japanese knife-making excellence, offering superior performance and easy maintenance in one elegant package.

Care Instruction

  1. Don't cut hard things! Japanese knives are brittle so bone hacking is a NO NO!
  2. Wash with neutral detergent after use, and wipe dry;
  3. Please don't wash knife with dishwasher, it will damage the wood handle;
  4. Be careful not to leave the knife close to a heat source for a long time;
  5. It is a lot more dangerous to cut with a blunt knife than a sharp knife!
  6. It is best to sharpen a Japanese knife regularly on a waterstone.
  7. Oil the (carbon) knife if storing for an extended period of time to prevent rust.
