Forged by Satoshi Nakagawa, this 180mm nakiri knife features an aogami#2 core steel with iron cladding. The blade features a bokashi finish in which stone powders are used to subtly darken the jigane, thus creating a pleasing contrast. Complementing the blade is an octagonal magnolia handle with a blonde horn ferrule. The knife comes complete with a custom magnolia saya.
Just like our custom Nakagawa aogami#1, this series is thin behind the edge without feeling delicate---just the right amount of thinness and edge flex; a rather robust edge that doesn't sacrifice cutting ability.
The grind on both the shinogi and bokashi series is exactly the same.
