Withdrawn Nakagawa 243mm Kiritsuke Aogami #1 (Morihiro san sharpener)

[Emieloss]

Hey all,

Looking to sell or trade my Nakagawa Kiritsuke. I bought it last week, but after using it to prep a meal it wasn't really what I'm looking for in a knife. Eventhough the balance was right on the pinchgrip, the weight is just a tad too much for me.
It did get some light patina, I can remove that with some baking soda if needed. It still has the ootb edge, profile, grind and finish. Comes in the original box.

Blacksmith: Satoshi Nakagawa
Sharpener: Morihiro San
Steel: Aogami#1 with iron clad (Not stainless)
HRC: 63
Edge length: 243mm (heel to tip)
Weight: 267 grams
Spine thickness root: 3,5 mm
Spine thickness mid: 2,5
Blade height heel: 50 mm
The handle is octagonal, made of ebony

Price: € 410,00 ($ 443,00) excluding € 389,00 ($ 420,00) Including EU shipping. (Other continents, PM me)

What it looks like without the patina:

Is this a flat grind or hollow?
Thank you

What an interesting sale. Looks like a fascinating knife.

Thank you

It is a flat grind on the cladding line until the core steel exposes. The thin core steel is straight until the secondary bevel starts.

Hope that makes sense
