Satoshi Nakagawa - Silver 3

Our in-depth range review

First Impressions

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.

Beauty

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 classic octagonal wa handle, the blades are understated but if you're looking for a depth to their beauty and subtle quality finish 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.

Durability

The silver 3 core steel is comparable to many carbon steels for sharpness and edge retention and will keep an impressive edge sharpness.

Ease of Care & Maintenance Tips

Normal care instructions apply as always - rinse and dry after use and no dishwashers but other than that you've got a nice low maintenance stainless knife thanks to the silver 3 core and stainless cladding. Easy!

For longer term care and maintenance we'd recommend a Japanese knife care kit which has everything to keep your knife in top condition.

ℹ️ The knives in this range are coated with a foodsafe lacquer that protects them in the time between being completed and shipped to us and can be seen in some product photos that looks like scuffs in the finish. You can use the knife safely without removing it and it will wear off over time or if you prefer, you can follow these instructions to remove it before use.

Our Verdict

We're always delighted to be able to stock Satoshi san's knives, they're an exceptional blade that's beautifully made and finished and represents top quality work from Nakagawa san. 

The Silver 3 is a great steel for durability and ease of care and in Satoshi Nakagawa, you're buying a knife from a supremely skilled blacksmith that's going to last you many years.
