Expert Craftsmanship in Every Blade
Speak to anyone elbow-deep in Japanese-made kitchen knives, and they will tell you that crafting a honyaki is possibly one of the most difficult processes there is when it comes to blacksmithing. Add on top of that the stress of water quenching over oil quenching, and any smith who can pull this off almost instantly builds a reputation for themselves - this also helps explain the price of a honyaki.
Why Choose Satoshi Nakagawa's Honyaki?
Your search can stop here if you want a reputable honyaki knife maker because Satoshi Nakagawa is exactly that. Forging a mizu (water) quenched honyaki out of shirogami (white) steel #2, Nakagawa-san's honyaki are thinner than most of the competition, allowing for smoother cuts thanks to a great grind, and with an eye-popping HRC of 63 due partially to the blade being water quenched. This method leads to more cracked end products than not, but when done successfully, you have a functional knife made by one of the most difficult processes out there.
