The blade boasts an attractive Tanryusen finish, a darkened straight line near the shinogi line, adding to its elegance. With a higher carbon content than Aogami #2, Nakagawa-san was able to heat-treat the blade to a hardness level of 61-63 HRC, enabling superior edge retention. Paired with a white marble buffalo horn magnolia wa-handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpec:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin (Made in): Sakai, Osaka Prefecture, Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Nakagawa Hamono\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCraftsman: Satoshi Nakagawa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnife Type: Yanagiba\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"spec_sublist\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: San Mai\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrind: Double-edged Blade (50\/50 Grind)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHagane (Core Steel): Aogami #2 (Blue #2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJigane (Cladding): Soft Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardness: 62-63 HRC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-forged, hand-ground, hand-sharpened\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Finishes:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"spec_sublist\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKasumi Polish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTanryusen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Length: 90mm (3.5\") \/ 110mm (4.3\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Height (at heel): 24mm \/ 26mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpine Thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"spec_sublist\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbove heel: 2.2mm \/ 2.8mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMiddle: 2.1mm \/ 2.1mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"spec_sublist\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape: Hachikaku (Octagonal)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Japanese Magnolia (Ho Wood)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKuchiwa: White Buffalo Horn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 107mm \/ 126mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall Length: 212mm \/ 238mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 56g (1.97oz) \/ 66g (2.32oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStamp Mark: In Japanese Kanji \"\u003cem\u003eNakagawa Made\u003c\/em\u003e\" (中川作)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStamp Mark: In Japanese Kanji \"\u003cem\u003eAogami #2\u003c\/em\u003e\" (青二鋼)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Nakagawa Hamono 中川打刃物\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSatoshi Nakagawa (中川悟志) is a relatively young knifemaker based in the famous city of Sakai in Japan. 16 years ago, he started learning from legend artisan Kenichi Shiraki (白木健一), one of the very best blacksmiths in Japan. As master Shiraki retired and closed his workshop in 2020, the torch has been passed down to Satoshi Nakagawa, Shiraki’s only Deshi (disciple). In April 2021, Satoshi Nakagawa-san launched his own workshop Nakagawa Hamono.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAogami #2\u003c\/strong\u003e (Blue #2) steel is a premium Japanese high carbon steel for knife making. It is not stainless, therefore you must wipe your knife dry after each use, in particular the core steel not covered by the stainless cladding. Patina will develop over time, which will appear as “discoloration” on the cutting edge, but that is the nature of carbon steel - not a defect. The stainless cladding covers a large part of the blade, making maintenance easier but still preserving the cutting and sharpening pleasure of the Aogami Super core. Avoid cutting into bones, frozen foods, hard fruit pits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Surface:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRecommended cutting surface: wood, rubberized boards and high-end composites, and quality plastics such as polyethylene make acceptable cutting surfaces, and will help protect and prolong knife’s edge.
