YuiSenri x Nakagawa White Steel #2 Gyuto – Hand-Forged Sakai Japanese Chef’s Knife

The YuiSenri x Nakagawa White Steel #2 Gyuto is a hand-forged Japanese chef’s knife crafted by Satoshi Nakagawa, one of Sakai’s most respected young master blacksmiths.

The blade is made from Yasuki White Steel #2 (Shirogami #2), a traditional Japanese carbon steel highly valued for its excellent sharpness, fine edge quality, and ease of sharpening. Compared with higher-grade Blue Steel models, White Steel #2 offers a particularly refined cutting feel and is favored by chefs who appreciate precise sharpening and traditional Japanese knife performance.

After spending 16 years apprenticing under Kenichi Shiraki, a legendary Sakai blacksmith, Satoshi Nakagawa began forging knives under his own name and has gained worldwide recognition for his craftsmanship.

This Gyuto features a traditional octagonal magnolia wood handle with a buffalo horn bolster, providing a comfortable grip, balanced handling, and authentic Japanese knife craftsmanship.

As a YuiSenri Original collaboration model, this knife combines Nakagawa’s forging expertise with YuiSenri’s finishing and sharpening, creating a professional Japanese chef’s knife with exceptional cutting performance.
