The Silver 3 As You Might Expect From A Blacksmith Of Satoshi San’S Skill Has A Beautifully Finished And Consistent Edge Running Through The Collection And It’S Clear The Attention To Detail, Fit And Finish Are All Top Notch.

There Are Two “Versions” Of The Silver 3 Knife Both Blades Are Exactly The Same And The One With Kanji On One Side Is Directly From Nakagawa San And The Version With Mutliple Handle Styles And The Large Hand Chiseled Kanji Is A Collaboration With Our Friends At Hatsukokoro To Provide A Wider Range Of Handle And Saya Choices But The Blade Is The Same Throughout The Range.

The Migaki Finish Across These Blades Is Very Refined And Has A Subtle Beauty And Consistency That Is Easy To Appreciate And Enjoy.

Paired With A Range Of Classic Octagonal Wa Handlesi Nvarying Materials And Limited Edition Colourways, We’D Say The Blades Are Understated But If You’Re Looking For A Depth To Their Beauty, A Quality Finish And A Wide Choice Of Handle Styles Then You’Re In Luck!

In Hand

One Thing That’S Immediately Obvious When This Knife Is In Hand Is That The Quality And Skill Shown In The Migaki Finish And The Consistent Grind Also Extends To The Spine And Heel Of The Knife Where They’Ve Been Ever So Slightly Rounded Which Makes A Big Difference In Comfort When Using A Pinch Grip In Particular.

It Shows A Quality And Attention To Detail That Extends To All Aspects Of The Knife.

The Silver 3 Core Is Comparable To Many Carbon Steels For Sharpness Andedge Retention And Will Keep An Impressive Edge Sharpness.
