Nakagawa Ginsan Deba 165mm/ 180mm/ 210mm Mirror Polished Finish

After the retirement of legendary master craftsman Kenichi Shiraki, Nakagawa-san, as Shiraki-san's disciple for almost 20 years, is heading the Shiraki Hamono (now as Nakagawa Hamono).  In fact, many of Shiraki-san's works including honyaki in the last 5 or more years were done by Nakagawa-san.   Nakagawa-san is also forging knives for some top tier lines from Sakai retailers, namely Sakai Kikumori, Sakai Jikko, and some other brands.  So K&S now is very pleased and honored to carry the latest works from Nakagawa-san, primarily in Ginsan steel with featured wide bevel, followed by more profiles and various steels in the near future.  ================ Measurements  165 mm 180 mm 210 mm Weight 311 g 386 g 440 g Total Length 326 mm 340 mm 365 mm Tip to Heel Length 171 mm 187 mm 216 mm Blade Height at Heel 52.3 mm 55.9 mm 59.9 mm Width of Spine Above Heel 5.9 mm 6.4 mm 6.4 mm Width of Spine at Middle of Blade 4.9 mm  6.0 mm 5.4 mm Width of Spine at about 1cm from tip 2.4 mm 2.4 mm 2.4 mm   Steel type: Ginsan core with stainless clad Hardness (HRC): 60-61 Handle Design: K&S ebony handle with black horn ferrule.
