Nigara Hamono Anmon "Troll Killer" Kiritsuke Yanagiba 330mm

Nigara Hamono's knives are all impressively sharp right out of the box and you'd expect nothing less when looking at the highest level flagship knives in the Anmon range. 

They're typically single bevel knives in the Anmon range and  designed for right handed use but there also extremely limited edition double bevel knives available (detailed as such where relevant).

The famous Anmon damascus style is created by forging 25 layers of steel (and up to 250 layers for the Troll Killer knives!) which leads to some incredible and interesting patterns, each one of which is completely unique. 

Every Anmon knife is listed as an individual product on the site and so the one you're looking at, is the only one with that incredible pattern and finish.

With a mix of single and double bevel as well as varying handle fits in the Anmon range, the focus is very much on the balance and comfort of every individual knife and even the knives with the traditionally heavier full tang Western style ironwood handles feel light and nimble in hand. 

The comfort and balance levels are excellent thanks to the attention to detail given to the Anmon.

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.
