A very special damascus knife crafted by Satoshi Nakagawa, one of the most skilled blacksmiths in Sakai, Japan. After working for 16 years as a blacksmith at Shiraki, Nakagawa has become independent, determining the design and production methods himself. He forges his blades using classic Japanese forging techniques, and the blade attains the highest possible quality. The knife has a comfortable weight and fits perfectly in the hand. The edge itself is very thin, and the knife cuts exceptionally well.
