Satoshi Nakagawa-san is the disciple of master blacksmith Kenichi Shiraki-san (retired in 2017). He trained under Shiraki-san for 16 years and was at the helm of Shiraki Hamono from 2015 when his master became ill. In April 2021, he established his own workshop: Nakagawa Hamono.
At a relatively young age, Nakagawa-san is one of the most talented smiths capable of forging various steels, including Shirogami, Aogami, and stainless options such as VG10 and Ginsanko. In addition to laminated blades, he also crafts honyaki knives. We are thrilled to feature more of Nakagawa-san's masterfully forged blades in our lineup.
