Their family has a 350 year old history of making knives and swords and more recently has expanded into structural steel beams for use in construction. Tsuyoshi Yoshizawa stands as the 8th generation smith in the lineage of blacksmiths at Nigara Hamono and creates knives with his younger brother and two other craftsmen.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNigara Hamono knives are characterized by their signature tsuchime pattern, as well as play with stainless damascus. These knives stand out for their aesthetic appeal, thinness behind the edge, and functionality, given they make their steel in house, and work primarily with high powdered stainless steels. They produce uniquely versatile profiles, ranging from very flat “kiritsuke nakiris” to aggressively curved “kiritsuke gyutos”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"How to Maintain a Stainless Clad Knife\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/PDUU9JchX7I\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKnife Care (Stainless Clad)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis knife is made from 3 layers of steel using a technique called Sanmai (Forge welding).
