About this range

First Impressions

Very impressive sharpness right out of the box and to be honest - this is the normal expectation of all Nigara Hamono knives and like all their knives the AS range doesn't disappoint when it comes to cutting performance.

The grind down to the cutting edge is very thin and they simply glide through food.

Beauty

If you're looking for wow factor then we'll let the photos and product videos do the talking here!

It's a sensational looking knife blade with the matt grey shade of the kurouchi finish and the S shaped hammer finish tapering down to the wavy mirror finish of the core aogami steel. 

In Hand

For the traditional handled versions of the AS, it's a nice and light knife in hand and you'll find a familiar balance just around the Nigara logo on the blade of most of the knives in the range.

Durability

Aogami Super is a very popular and durable steel and used widely throughout the Japanese knife world so it's one that's easy to sharpen and retains an edge well so this is definitely a knife that's going to last when cared for.

Ease of Care

It's a reactive steel core so will develop a patina with use as you'd expect but it's easy to look after if you follow our normal care instructions and store properly when not in use.

Our Verdict

An excellent range in a quality steel and with the very thin edge you see on Nigara Hamono knives of this style. A great balance of performance and value for money.

Nigara Hamono have been making knives and blades of the highest quality for more than 350 years and this range is another one that will no doubt prove incredibly popular and rightly so.

Range Specifications

Our aim is to measure and photograph our products as accurately as possible but due to many items being handmade, finished or using natural materials, there can be minor variance in measurements and things such as blade or wood finishes can vary. We will always endeavour to provide the most accurate measurements, photos and descriptions of our products.

Some measurements such as HRC are provided by manufacturers and should therefore be used as a guide.
