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.
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.
