Specifications

The Nakagawa aogami#1 tall gyuto 240mm is a handcrafted Japanese chef's knife forged in Sakai by Satoshi Nakagawa and sharpened by Kawakita Hamono. This knife features an Aogami #1 carbon steel core with iron cladding in sanmai construction. The blade measures 227mm with 57.1mm height and weighs 195g. This tall gyuto handles general kitchen tasks from slicing to chopping. Despite the extra height, the knife feels well-balanced in hand. The blade is thin behind the edge without feeling delicate. The spine is chamfered and the choil is rounded for comfort during use. The iron cladding will develop a natural patina over time with use.

FAQ

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.

What payment methods do you accept? Visa, Mastercard, Amex, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Shop Pay. No cash on delivery.
