Superior Craftsmanship and Performance

Nakagawa-san's knives are renowned for their exceptional heat control during forging and thorough heat treatment, resulting in knives with superior edge formation and retention. The sharpener on this series, Kawakita Hamono operated by Kazumi Kawakita, ensures the highest quality. This renowned master sharpener has trained many notable Sakai sharpeners, including Morihiro, who pioneered traditional Sakai wide bevels on double bevel wa-hochos.

Practical and Durable Design

The Hatsukokoro Nakagawa 300mm Sujihiki features a hard carbon steel core with iron cladding for added durability. As the blade is used, it will develop a unique patina, especially when cutting acidic foods. To maintain its beauty and longevity, special attention is needed to prevent rust. Hand wash and dry the knife, and avoid using a dishwasher. Opt for hardwood-end grain or softwood long grain cutting boards to preserve the blade's integrity. With proper care, this knife will be a reliable companion in your kitchen for years to come.
