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.

Total Rip Off Zero Star Rating Warranted
Color: 1PC
I purchased this product for my dog because it was advertised as indestructible. The second my dog opened the package and put the bear in his mouth the “indestructible bear” was torn apart just below the bear’s head. It was useless and the stuffing was exposed. We had to take the bear from our dog and throw it away. The product was literally destroyed, rendered useless, and unusable in seconds. We had to take the product from our dog fearing he would infest the stuffing which I’m sure would have been harmful to our dog. I have never seen a dog toy that was so easily torn apart and this has never happened to any of the many toys we have purchased and/or given to our dog for play toys. I would rate this product zero stars if possible. Unfortunately one star is the lowest rating you can give when submitting your review. I’m embarrassed I spent money on what truly is junk. We and anyone else should demand a refund for purchasing this product. Sincerely One Disappointed and Disgusted Amazon Prime Member

not indestructible
Color: 1PC
My dog ate through it in 4 days. The bear is not indestructible. It died a very undignified death. I am convinced that my dog was a goat in a past life. He eats everything that is not nailed down.

Not worth the money

DO NOY BUY!! It lasted not even 3 minutes with my 6 year old rottie. She bit right through the nose and pulled out the stuffing. Don't waste your money!! I would give it zero stars if I could!

Not good for an aggressive chewer
Color: 1PC
This toy is not indestructible. My little Aussie had one ear off and its neck cut in less then 6 hours and by the next day he had the foot chewed off. It is cute and he loved it, but it is stuffed and not really safe for an aggressive chewer.
