Nakagawa x Tokushu White #1 Mizu Honyaki Gyuto 255mm No Handle

Experience the pinnacle of Japanese knife craftsmanship with the Nakagawa x Tokushu White #1 Mizu Honyaki Gyuto 255mm. This exceptional honyaki knife is a collaboration between master blacksmith Satoshi Nakagawa and Tokushu, bringing you unparalleled quality and tradition in blade forging.

Crafting a honyaki knife is one of the most challenging feats in blacksmithing. The process involves forging the blade from a single piece of premium Shirogami (White) Steel #1 and water quenching (mizu honyaki), a method significantly more demanding than oil quenching. Only a select few master smiths can execute this technique without the blade cracking, making honyaki knives rare and highly sought after.

Satoshi Nakagawa has mastered this intricate process, creating a stunning honyaki gyuto known for its exceptional thinness and precise cutting ability. The blade achieves an impressive hardness of HRC 65 due to the meticulous water-quenching process. This high hardness allows for superior edge retention and performance, making it an extraordinary tool in any kitchen.

With its substantial 255mm length, this honyaki gyuto is an indispensable addition for both professional chefs and serious home cooks. While it comes without a handle, this offers you the opportunity to customize it to your personal preference, making this knife truly unique to you.
