Forged in Sakai by Satoshi Nakagawa, this blade features an Aogami #1 core that achieves 61-64 HRC through specialised heat treatment. The san-mai construction lacks stainless cladding, meaning the exposed carbon steel requires immediate drying after use to prevent rust and allow patina development. This high-carbon composition provides exceptional edge retention and toughness while remaining responsive to sharpening stones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 210mm gyuto profile suits general purpose kitchen tasks including mincing, slicing vegetables, and cutting meat. Blade geometry measures 3.0mm at the heel, tapering to 2.2mm mid-blade and 0.7mm at the tip, with a 48mm heel height and 198mm edge length. Weighing 167g, the knife pairs with a stabilised octagonal birch burl handle featuring intricate grain patterns and enhanced durability through resin impregnation. The migaki surface finish highlights the traditional Sakai craftsmanship combined with decorative damascus layers, resulting in a tool that balances solid cutting performance with distinct visual character for enthusiasts who maintain reactive blades.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nakagawa Hamono","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46451546063069,"sku":"NAKA_B1DM-GY210BR","price":557000.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/NakagawaBlue1DamascusGyuto210mm-20250523-05.jpg?v=1748084515","url":"https:\/\/www.knivesandstones.co.kr\/en\/products\/nakagawa-blue-1-gyuto-210mm-damascus-birch","provider":"Knives and Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
