NAKAGAWA Mizu Honyaki Blue #2 Gyuto 210mm No Handle
When you encounter a Satoshi Nakagawa knife, you're witnessing the craftsmanship of a highly skilled artisan, honed under the guidance of the renowned Kenichi Shiraki of Shiraki Hamono. With Shiraki-san's retirement in 2020, Nakagawa-san inherited the legacy, continuing to forge exceptional knives, including the demanding honyaki style, with unparalleled skill and discipline.
This particular 210mm gyuto, crafted using the mizu-Honyaki method with Aogami #2 steel, is a testament to Nakagawa-san's mastery. The blade boasts a distinctive gunome hamon, a wavy pattern achieved through a meticulous clay application before heat treatment. Such honyaki knives, especially in Aogami steel, are rarities and are prized for their beauty and exceptional performance.
The 210mm gyuto is a favored choice for many, balancing versatility and ease of use, making it ideal for both home cooks and professional chefs. This size is particularly unique in the honyaki range, adding an exclusive aspect to this already exceptional knife.
