Forged in Sakai by Satoshi Nakagawa as part of the Hatsukokoro commission, this double-bevel santoku features a Hitachi Ginsan Silver #3 core with stainless cladding and a migaki surface finish. The 168mm edge length and 46mm heel height suit slicing, dicing, and mincing tasks, while the wide-bevel geometry and moderate thickness support professional and household use without reactive steel maintenance requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Ginsan core measures HRC 60-61 and offers a fine grain structure that balances edge retention with sharpening response within a completely stainless package. This san-mai construction pairs with an octagonal ebony handle that tapers subtly for a comfortable grip and minimalist aesthetic. Weighing 176g with a spine measuring 2.3mm at the heel and middle, tapering to 1mm near the tip, the knife presents a solid feel during chopping and slicing. The less aggressive profile provides control for varied culinary tasks, making this santoku a functional option for those prioritising stainless convenience alongside traditional cutting performance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nakagawa Hamono","offers":[{"title":"Default
