Crafted by Satoshi Nakagawa, this 180mm Gyuto knife features an Aogami #2 core steel with iron cladding. The blade showcases a migaki finish on the blade face and a bokashi finish on the faux shinogi, where a combination of stone powders and other abrasives creates contrast—an aesthetic enhancement rather than a sand-blasted effect. This technique, known as "kireha bokashi" in Japanese, gives the blade a refined look.
