SPG STRIX is a brand new specialty powdered steel.  It is produced by Takefu Special Steel Company.  The high hardness, along with substantially finer grain structure and carbides, set STRIX apart from more conventional powdered steels on the market.  This paired with advanced forging and heat treating allows for outstanding edge retention without having to sacrifice ease of sharpenability.  

Nigara Hamono is a distinguished Japanese blacksmithing house with a legacy spanning over 350 years. Founded during the early Edo period, the Nigara family began crafting swords for the Tsugaru clan in Hirosaki, Aomori Prefecture. Over eight generations, they have preserved and refined their traditional forging techniques, transitioning from samurai swords to high-performance kitchen knives that are celebrated worldwide.      

Under the leadership of Go Yoshizawa, the eighth-generation blacksmith, Nigara Hamono continues to blend time-honored techniques with modern innovations. This dedication has earned them recognition as one of Japan’s premier knife makers.
