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.

Lovely cabinet but needs time to put together!
Color: White, Size: 23x29
The overall cabinet is what I was looking for. Very sturdy and good looking. The main problem my husband had was with the directions to put it together. The pictures were hard to see and the majority of written directions were hard to understand. Definitely took longer to put together than should have taken. But when it was completed and hung, I have to say I love it. Be prepared to have patience and enough time set aside to put it together.

Solid cabinet; all aligns well
Color: White-1927, Size: 19x27
Amazon declined my first buy/ship if this cabinet as it was damaged when it reached Amazon. That was fine, but I still had to go thru ‘return’ process of Amazons, w/o a product to return; so I used their ‘chat feature’ to explain—went smoothly, and they secured the replacement for me; I just need to check latest bill to be sure I was only charged once. OK, now onto the cabinet: Solid materials (for MDF-which I generally avoid), and assembled + installed in just 1hr. Btw, I add ‘glue’ the the provided 8 wood dowels used for assembly. The doors hinge adjustments are easy to align doors for final finish. While this cabinet ‘hangs’ on its cleat, I did add one screw to the inside-bottom of cabinet to ensure no one inadvertently may ‘lift’ the cabinet off its cleat. This is rock solid secured to me wall above toilet for great extra storage in the kids’ bath! Overall, a good buy; but did expect it to be cheaper price considering MDF material and made in China. I look for country of origin now and try to buy from US friendly countries. Good luck, Mark in NY.

Very impressive
Color: Navy Blue, Size: 23x29
I've had a lot of experience with modern furniture that you have to put together. Most of it, I worry about the durability of the product. Most is put together with repurposed particle board. So it's heavy and I would think not durable - especially in a damp environment. Saying that, I was very impressed with this product. My experience with the product to this point has been the best of those type of products. It shipped very well...everything in place and neatly packed. The engineered wood (resembles plastic) seems solid, water resistant at a minimum, and scratch resistant. The instructions provided - while the product was easy to assemble - were amongst the clearest I've seen from such a product. What impressed me the most was the thought behind the design of this product. The hinges are perfect for the product. The doors can be easily removed by pushing a button on the hinge. The holes on the boards were perfectly drilled - so much so that I didn't have to pound any board to put them together. The back wasn't nailed on and the slot used for the backing was spot on. If I had to choose negatives (and I'm really nit-picking because this is really designed that well) it was that the shelf ends up being a bit loose and I would have liked the mounting board to match the width of the slot it was being used to fill. Both can be fixed at the house by home products and screws. I was so impressed that I would go and buy another product from this manufacturer (and look for the manufacturer by name). IT is that good.

Stylish, sturdy cabinet
Color: White
This cabinet was even nicer than I thought it would be—stylish, sturdy, and easy to assemble. Perfect for holding medicines and small items in the bathroom, easy to see and find, out of reach of children.
