Specifications
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.

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.
