Satoshi Nakagawa

Nakagawa Satoshi is one of the most respected smiths in Sakai, working in a tradition that takes decades of practice to master. His knives, especially the honyaki versions, are known for extremely thin blades, exceptional geometry and a mirror-polished finish that is hard to describe but instantly recognised. A Nakagawa knife is not just a tool but an expression of Japanese blacksmithing at its very highest level.
