{"type":"firestarter.listing","listing":{"id":"lst_gBFOtstH","product_name":"Nigara Hamono SG2 Kurouchi Tsuchime Sujihiki 300mm with Abalone Western Handle","category":"Sujihiki Knife","description":"Overview\nForged by Nigara Hamono in Hirosaki, Aomori, this 300 mm sakimaru-tip Sujihiki pairs a razor-hard SG2 powder-steel core with rugged kurouchi tsuchime stainless cladding. The long, slender blade glides through brisket, roasts, and sashimi in a single pull, while the full-tang Western handle—custom-fitted with shimmering abalone resin scales and a nickel-silver bolster—adds stability and show-stopping style at the carving station.\nCommon Questions\nQ: Is this knife good for home cooks who only carve occasionally?A: Absolutely. The 300 mm length lets you slice holiday roasts or smoked brisket cleanly in one stroke, and the stainless cladding means less fuss than carbon steel. Store it dry and hone lightly before big meals.\nQ: Does SG2 need special care?A: SG2 is stain-resistant and holds an edge for months of typical use. Hand-wash, dry promptly, and strop on leather every few weeks; full sharpening is rarely needed.\nQ: How does the abalone handle hold up?A: The resin-stabilized abalone scales are waterproof and shrink-proof. Mild dish soap and a soft cloth keep the inlay bright.\nSpecifications\n\n\nCore Steel: SG2 powder stainless steel\n\nCladding Type: Stainless steel, kurouchi tsuchime finish\n\nBlade Length: 289 mm\n\nSpine Thickness (Heel): 2.2 mm\n\nSpine Thickness (Mid): 1.6 mm\n\nOverall Length: 435 mm\n\nWeight: 289 g\n\nHandle Material: Abalone resin scales, nickel-silver bolster (Western full-tang)\n\nHardness (HRC): 62–63\n","images":["https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0602/6720/0736/files/nigara-kurouchi-tsuchime-sujihiki-sg2-300mm-1_dcc9a994-ed0b-4717-9608-e27f4df41347.jpg?v=1780753459","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0602/6720/0736/files/nigara-kurouchi-tsuchime-sujihiki-sg2-300mm-2_fcab12a9-e851-4382-a647-6b5a838fd461.jpg?v=1780753459","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0602/6720/0736/files/nigara-kurouchi-tsuchime-sujihiki-sg2-300mm-3_1bd0ceca-8c69-41cc-99f9-380b2d9912bd.jpg?v=1780753459"],"price":599,"currency":"USD","in_stock":true,"inventory_qty":9999,"dynamic_pricing":false,"listed_at":"2026-06-18T20:44:30.530Z"},"share_url":"https://firestarter.network/l/lst_gBFOtstH","purchase":{"summary":"Live product listing on the Firestarter agent commerce network.
