NAKAGAWA HAMONO Silver #3 Kasumi Sujihiki 270mm No Handle
Experience the pinnacle of Sakai craftsmanship with the Nakagawa Silver #3 Sujihiki 270mm, a knife that reflects the extraordinary skill and dedication of blacksmith Satoshi Nakagawa. Trained by the legendary Kenichi Shiraki of Shiraki Hamono, Nakagawa-san carries forward a legacy of excellence in traditional Japanese knife-making.
This exceptional Sujihiki is forged from Silver 3 steel, also known as ginsanko, a material revered for its sharpness and durability. Crafted by Hitachi Japan, this steel is tailored for high-end kitchen knives, offering a balance between ease of sharpening and long-lasting edge retention, comparable yet often preferred over VG10 steel for its superior sharpness and feel.
The knife showcases a classic Kasumi finish, a testament to the traditional techniques that have been perfected over generations. The Silver #3 steel core is enveloped in a protective layer of stainless steel, resulting in a blade that marries the aesthetics of traditional Japanese knives with the practicalities of modern culinary demands.
