Forged in Sakai by Satoshi Nakagawa as part of the Hatsukokoro commission, this santoku features Aogami #1 core steel clad in soft iron with a kasumi finish. The wide bevel geometry pairs with moderate thickness to support professional kitchen work, while the 180mm edge length suits slicing, dicing, and mincing tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Blue 1 carbon steel core measures HRC 63-64 and requires immediate drying after use to prevent rust, as the soft iron cladding is reactive rather than stainless. This san-mai construction allows the blade to achieve a fine edge that sharpens readily on whetstones. Weighing 173g with a 48mm heel height, the knife balances through an octagonal ebony handle that provides a tapered geometric grip. The spine measures 3.3mm at the heel and tapers to 0.7mm near the tip, creating a defined profile distinct from standard gyuto shapes for controlled chopping and slicing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nakagawa Hamono","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46412106137821,"sku":"NAKA_B1KA_SA180","price":408000.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/NakagawaBlue1WideBevelKasumiSantoku180mmEbonyHandlea.jpg?v=1746497870","url":"https:\/\/www.knivesandstones.co.kr\/en\/products\/nakagawa-blue1-wide-bevel-kasumi-santoku-180mm-ebony-handle","provider":"Knives and Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
