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