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. The blade displays a Mt. Fuji hamon pattern across the edge. At 228mm with 49.2mm blade height and weighing 217g, 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 and led Shiraki Hamono from 2015 when his master stepped back from daily forging. Nakagawa established his own workshop, Nakagawa Hamono, in April 2021. He works with various steels including Shirogami, Aogami, VG10, and Ginsanko, forging both laminated and honyaki knives.
