Specifications

The Nakagawa aogami#1 bunka 210mm is a handcrafted Japanese kitchen knife forged in Sakai by Satoshi Nakagawa and sharpened by Kawakita Hamono. This knife features an Aogami #1 carbon steel core with iron cladding in sanmai construction. The blade measures 196mm with 54.9mm height and weighs 162g. This bunka handles general kitchen tasks from slicing to chopping, with the angled tip providing access for detailed work. The blade is thin behind the edge without feeling delicate. The spine is chamfered and the choil is rounded for comfort during use. The iron cladding will develop a natural patina over time with use.

FAQ

Why is the blade length different from the displayed size? The size in the product title is a nominal reference used by knife makers. The actual blade can be slightly longer or shorter due to handcrafting and traditional sizing. Each product page lists the exact measured length.

When will out-of-stock items be restocked? We carry limited, rotating stock. Once something sells out, we don't necessarily reorder it right away. It could be months before that item comes back, if at all. We bring in new knives regularly, but they're not always the same ones. Our newsletter is the best way to stay updated on new arrivals.

What payment methods do you accept? Visa, Mastercard, Amex, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Shop Pay. No cash on delivery.
