Specifications

Satoshi Nakagawa-san is the disciple of master blacksmith Kenichi Shiraki-san (retired in 2017). He trained under Shiraki-san for 16 years and took over at Shiraki Hamono in 2015 when his master became ill. In April 2021, he established his own workshop: Nakagawa Hamono.

Despite his relatively young age, Nakagawa-san is one of the most talented smiths capable of forging both laminated and honyaki knives. His expertise spans carbon steels like Shirogami and Aogami, as well as stainless varieties such as VG10 and Ginsanko. We are excited to expand our lineup with more of Nakagawa-san's exceptionally well-forged blades.
