Nakagawa shinogi aogami#2 nakiri 180mm with saya
Nakagawa shinogi aogami#2 nakiri 180mm with saya
Crafted by Satoshi Nakagawa, this 180mm nakiri 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. Complementing the blade is an octagonal magnolia handle with a blonde horn ferrule. The knife comes complete with a custom magnolia saya.
Just like our custom Nakagawa aogami#1, this series is thin behind the edge without feeling delicate---just the right amount of thinness and edge flex; a rather robust edge that doesn't sacrifice cutting ability.
The grind on both the shinogi and bokashi series is exactly the same. Please note that the faux shinogi is just for aesthetics; it is achieved by using a combination of loose abrasives to create contrast; it is not sand-blasted. This is also called "kireha bokashi" in Japanese. We can convert this to 'bokashi' for free if you prefer that look.
