Must-have Hatsukokuro Nakagawa 180mm Bunka Ginsanko Ebony Handle Series [8YsEfZwX]

Experience the artistry and precision of the Must-have Hatsukokuro Nakagawa 180mm Bunka Ginsanko Ebony Handle Series [8YsEfZwX] knife. This exceptional blade, crafted by the renowned Nakagawa-san, combines superior craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology. Known for its robust feel and exceptional sharpness, this knife is a true masterpiece of Japanese culinary art.

Superior Craftsmanship and Edge Formation

The Hatsukokuro Nakagawa knife features a solid feel with minimal flex, making it a joy to handle. Its edge, however, is incredibly thin and "nail-going," a testament to its fine grind. This edge can be temporarily bent with pressure against a fingernail, an old style test for proper thinness. With a spine that is not the thinnest in stock, the edge behind it is possibly the thinnest, ensuring smooth cuts. Key Features:

• Superb edge formation and edge life
• Excellent heat control during forging
• Thorough heat treatment for toughness

Perfect for Experienced Users

The Must-have Hatsukokuro Nakagawa 180mm Bunka Ginsanko Ebony Handle Series [8YsEfZwX] is best suited for those who are already familiar with thin-edged Japanese knives. Its delicate nature requires careful handling to avoid damage from twisting, lateral pressure, or scraping. Nakagawa-san's carbon steels are renowned for their ease of sharpening across various steel types, and his ginsanko is among the best for edge life, toughness, and formation. Benefits:

• Super fine grinding by Morihiro, a master of double bevel grinding
• Ideal for experienced users looking for a high-performance blade
• Perfect for tasks requiring precision and smooth cuts

For the best performance, hand wash and dry this knife, using hardwood-end grain or softwood long grain cutting boards. Avoid bamboo and plastic cutting boards to preserve the knife's longevity and sharpness.
