The Nakagawa Bokashi Shirogami #1 Flat Bunka is forged by Sakai-based blacksmith Satoshi Nakagawa. Just like our previous Nakagawa Aogami #1 custom, we opted for the same bokashi finish for a minimalist aesthetic. The core steel is Shirogami #1, prized for its purity and ability to achieve the highest sharpness among carbon steels. With its fine grain structure, this steel sharpens easily, holds refined edges well, and allows for very acute angles.
Handle: Octagonal magnolia with blonde horn ferrule
Hand Orientation: Ambidextrous
Saya/Sheath: Not included

Why is the blade length different from the displayed size? The size in the product title is a nominal reference used by knife makers. The actual blade can be slightly longer or shorter due to handcrafting and traditional sizing. Each product page lists the exact measured length.
When will out-of-stock items be restocked? We carry limited, rotating stock. Once something sells out, we don't necessarily reorder it right away. It could be months before that item comes back, if at all. We bring in new knives regularly, but they're not always the same ones. Our newsletter is the best way to stay updated on new arrivals.
