Forged by Satoshi Nakagawa in Sakai, this blade features Aogami #1 carbon steel with a soft iron sanmai clad construction and kasumi finish. The K-tip profile pairs a standard gyuto body with an angled kiritsuke-style point and flatter edge, optimising the knife for push-cutting, long slicing strokes, and detailed scoring or picking tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlue 1 steel measures 61-64 HRC and offers high edge retention, though it is reactive carbon steel that requires immediate drying and light oiling to prevent rust. This wide bevel model is thin behind the edge while maintaining moderate thickness through the spine, measuring 3.6mm at the heel and tapering to 1.0mm at the tip. Weighing 252g with a 228mm edge length, the knife features an octagonal ebony handle with a subtle taper. As a non-stainless sanmai blade, it develops a patina over time and suits users comfortable with active carbon steel maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nakagawa Hamono","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46624456474845,"sku":"NAKA_B1KA_KGY240EB","price":586.98,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/NakagawaBlue1KasumiK-tipGyuto240mm-20250801-04.jpg?v=1754013187","url":"https:\/\/www.knivesandstones.com.au\/products\/nakagawa-blue-1-k-tip-gyuto-240mm-kasumi-ebony","provider":"Knives and Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
