What really makes Nigara standout from the other makers, is their Anmon damascus line, with the uniquely beautiful, yet hard to forge ringdrop damascus pattern. Their blue 2 subseries are only found in their single bevel offerings, while the SRS-13 subline is super hard to obtain and expensive.

In late 2021, Nigara enhanced their product line by combining the much easier-to-obtain SG2 steel with their Anmon pattern resulting in some truly stunning knives!
Knives and Stones is proud to be among the first retailers to launch the Nigara SG2 Anmon line.
