Specifications

The Miyazaki hakata 181mm is a handcrafted Japanese kitchen knife forged in Goto, Nagasaki by Haruki Miyazaki. This knife features an Aogami #2 carbon steel core with iron cladding in sanmai construction and a tsuchime kurouchi damascus finish. The hakata is a regional knife style from Kyushu, similar to a bunka with an angled tip for detailed work. At 181mm with 51mm blade height and weighing 181g, this knife handles general kitchen tasks from slicing to chopping. The iron cladding will develop a natural patina over time with use. 

Haruki Miyazaki was born in 1985 in Goto, Nagasaki. He apprenticed for five years under Toshio Ooba, known for his hakata knives, before traveling across Japan to learn from other blacksmiths. He also studied with Yukinori Shirataka, who was considered a living national treasure. Miyazaki established his own workshop in 2011 and works with various Japanese steels including Aogami #2, Shirogami #2, Aogami Super, and Ginsanko.
