Specifications

The Nakagawa Shirogami #3 abura-honyaki gyuto 228mm is a handcrafted Japanese chef's knife forged in Sakai by Satoshi Nakagawa. This knife features abura-honyaki (oil-quenched honyaki) construction made from a single piece of Hitachi Shirogami #3 carbon steel with a full mirror finish. At 228mm with 49mm blade height and weighing 234g, this gyuto handles general kitchen tasks from slicing to chopping. The carbon steel blade will develop a natural patina over time with use. Includes a plain kiri box, certificate, and nishiki bukuro.

About the blacksmith:
Satoshi Nakagawa trained for 16 years under master blacksmith Kenichi Shiraki (retired in 2017) and took over at Shiraki Hamono in 2015. He established his own workshop, Nakagawa Hamono, in April 2021. Despite his relatively young age, Nakagawa is capable of forging various steels including Shirogami, Aogami, VG10, and Ginsanko, crafting both laminated and honyaki knives.
