Nigara SG2 KU Butcher 165mm Kurouchi Tsuchme Ebony, Japanese kitchen knife
This knife is a Japanese kitchen knife built for clean, precise cutting. The blade is a practical everyday length. Forged by Nigara with a kurouchi finish, it pairs hard, keen Japanese steel with the thin grind and balance that let the blade glide through food with less resistance. The stainless steel keeps it easy to look after from day to day.

Care and everyday use
It is at its best for everyday kitchen tasks. The stainless steel keeps maintenance low: hand wash and dry the blade after use, keep it off bone and frozen food, and touch up the edge on a whetstone when it starts to slow. There is no need to oil the blade, which makes it a forgiving choice for everyday cooking.

Lovely knife and a joy to use. A little more blade care than my stainless knives but worth it.

My new go-to knife. The balance is perfect and it holds an edge well.

Solid buy. Sharp, light and nimble. Would happily buy from Knives and Stones again.
