Knife Information
Under the tutelage of Kenichi Shiraki for almost 16 years, Satoshi Nakagawa is now creating knives of his own that live up to all expectations. His ability to work with a wide range of steels to consistently high-quality is seeing his name rapidly rise to being one of the most well-respected in Sakai. This Honyaki is crafted from White 1 Steel, and has a mirror finish and pronounced Hamon. This knife is coated in a protective lacquer that is removed by acetone after delivery.
Steel Breakdown
White Steel is the purest of the Japanese High Carbon Steels made by Hitachi Metals. It can be forged to extremely high hardness, sharpened extremely easily (even for novices), and takes a scalpel-like edge. It is known to be one of the easiest steel to get blazing sharp.
Being this pure and lacking any stainless properties, this steel is very reactive and will rust quickly if not dried after use, and oiled between uses. However, once a patina builds up, it is less reactive and prone to rusting. Knives of this steel are regarded by many as the purists choice of knife, and are incredibly rewarding to use if maintained properly.
