Specifications
Zahocho Custom (2023)
The Nakagawa Bokashi Shirogami #1 Gyuto is forged by Sakai-based blacksmith Satoshi Nakagawa. 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.
The blade boasts a convex grind and is notably thin behind the edge, with just the right amount of flex—ensuring optimal cutting performance without feeling overly delicate. Enhancing its appearance, it showcases a mirror finish on the hira and a bokashi finish on the kireha, creating a striking contrast. The sharpener for this batch is undisclosed.
