There are great advantages to using a smaller petit knife when working on on fine details or if your kitchen isn’t too spacious. With its sharp tip, the petit knife is perfect for peeling fruits and vegetables or for making decorative incisions. It’s smaller and lighter than the Butcher knife and recommended for people who have a hard time using heavy knives or those who have small hands. A ripple pattern is produced with 25 layers of steel hammered over and over for razor sharpness, strength, and durability against rust. No two items have the same pattern as these petit knives are made by hand, offering a mysterious, one-of-a-kind ripple pattern with a design and quality that is sure to captivate you.

Uses high-quality material

Along with a secret forging agent, steel is placed on ground iron and heated in a furnace at 1200 degrees Celsius.

The sharp cuts made with knife are sure to impress

Running water is used to cool the body to prevent frictional heat from causing the blade to soften as the tip is polished until sharp.

Since the days of Samurai.

During the early Edo Period, the city of Hirosaki was a castle town. There were over one hundred forging shops in the area. Nigara Forging is one such historical Tsugaru blacksmith shops maintaining its history and art. The Nigara Forging has kept the traditional forging techniques alive and has remained committed to high-quality blade forging for centuries. The folding and hammering of soft iron and steel produces a distinctive beauty in each knife we make.

Nigara Knife

For more than 350 years since being ordered by the Tsugaru Clan to create swords during the early Edo Period, we have continued to carry on traditional techniques as a renowned swordsmith. We have received numerous awards to date and have been given the honor of producing swords to dedicate to Ise Shrine and Meiji Shrine. Now in our eighth generation of business, we would like to use all the techniques that we’ve nurtured over the years to create the best kitchen knives for everyday use and collaborate with you to open up new worlds.
