This latest collaboration between Nigara and Hatsukokoro brings back so many great memories. It feels like a true return to the texture of the first generation Anmon series from 7 years ago. The Suminagashi Damascus pattern moves like ink painting across the blade, paired with Nigara's signature Kurozome finish that adds depth and dimension. Under the light, the surface reveals shimmering silver crystal like details within the pattern. Subtle, dynamic, and completely captivating.
This series features Takefu Special Steel’s next generation VG XEOS. Known for its outstanding corrosion resistance and high hardness, VG XEOS delivers excellent edge retention while maintaining solid toughness. With proper heat treatment, it takes on an incredibly sharp edge with ease, offering a clean, precise cutting experience.
