The Nakagawa Shirogami #2 Mizuhonyaki Kiritsuke Gyuto is a handcrafted Japanese chef’s knife forged by Satoshi Nakagawa in Sakai and sharpened by Morihiro Hamono. Featuring a Shirogami #2 carbon steel blade with a mirror-finished hira, this knife showcases a unique gyakuchoji hamon pattern—setting it apart from the wave hamon typically seen on honyaki knives. The kiritsuke gyuto shape combines a pointed tip for precise and intricate cuts with a relatively flat profile, making it ideal for chopping and push-cutting techniques. This knife is a versatile tool for professionals and enthusiasts alike.
