About Yoshihiro 義弘 / Yamawaki Hamono 山脇刃物

Established in 1927 in Sakai Japan, Yamawaki Hamono produces knives under the "Yoshihiro" and "Goh Umanosuke Yoshihiro" brands, named after a famous swordsmith of the Kamakura period. Having mastered mizu-Honyaki process, the most challenging construction and treatment, Yamawaki Hamono combines Sakai's centuries-long history of knife making knowhow with newer technologies to create superior chef knives. The current owner of the Yamawaki Hamono - Mr. Ryoyo Yamawaki - is also a lecturer at several culinary schools. Having apprenticed under Sakai blacksmiths, the new generation craftsmen Igarashi Nori and Masaya Shimizu lead the Yamawaki workshop to create incredible knives that are well recognised among Sakai artisans.

Care:

Ginsan (Gin3 or Silver #3) is stainless carbon steel, with 14% added Chromium. Retaining the character of Japanese carbon steel, with a similar hardness of Shirogami #2, Ginsan is stainless. Its edge retention is only slightly inferior to Shirogami #2, but the fact that it combines ease of sharpening, carbon steel character as well being stainless makes it a great choice for those who wish to have a Japanese carbon steel knife that is easy to maintain.

Cutting Surface:

Recommended cutting surface: wood, rubberized boards and high-end composites, and quality plastics such as polyethene make acceptable cutting surfaces, and will help protect and prolong knife’s edge. AVOID glass, metal, countertops, and other rigid, non-forgiving surfaces.

Sharpening:

We recommend sharpening all quality Japanese knives on whetstones, as we believe they yield the best results for your knives.

Very sturdy!
Size: 31.5 Inch, Color: Rustic Brown
I absolutely love these shelves. They were easy to put together and hang up and they look fantastic. I ended up having to use extra boards to screw it to the wall just because of the location of the wall stud, but you can't notice it at all, really. They are pretty big , the picture doesn't do it justice. I'm very pleased with this purchase.

Sturdy, secure, well-crafted, and gorgeous.
This is a dark photo but I ordered this for a safe and beautiful space to keep the ashes of my past pets who meant the world to me. It is true to size, holds weight exactly as described, easy to assemble, and securely mounted with everything you need included - they even send a magnetic screwdriver for you. The variety of lights colors and modes are exceptional, and there are dimming features and many permutations of light sequences and patterns you can choose from if you want to give it an automatic setting. It's a perfect final resting place for my pets where I know they can be honored beautifully for the rest of my life. Recommend this purchase for any project on your list requiring a shelf with a lighted back. The hanging hooks and lower bar are an added bonus. High quality product, very versatile, and amazing value.
