About Yoshikane Hamono 吉金刃物

With 4th generation artisan Kazuomi Yamamoto on the throne, Yoshikina Hamono is a Japanese knife making company in Sanjo City, Niigata with over 100 years history. Founded in 1919 by Shimotajima. Yoshikane Hamono has been making knives by hand for generations in this tiny Japanese town well known for its metalware. To date, they have kept going in the traditional way with such focus and dedication that can only be found in this part of the world.

Care:

Shirogami #2 (white #2) steel is one of the most popular types of high carbon steel found in Japanese kitchen knives (Wa Knives). It is not stainless, therefore you must wipe your knife dry after each use, in particular the core steel not covered by the stainless cladding. Patina will develop over time, which will appear as “discoloration” on the cutting edge, but that is the nature of carbon steel - not a defect. The stainless cladding covers a large part of the blade, making maintenance easier but still preserving the cutting and sharpening pleasure of the Shirogami core. Avoid cutting into bones, frozen foods, hard fruit pits.

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.

Great all-in-one steam cleaner
Size: Standard
The Schenley 19-in-1 Steam Mop is super versatile and easy to use. It heats up quickly and the steam is strong enough to clean floors, grout, and bathroom surfaces without any chemicals. I love how easily it switches to a handheld steamer—feels like multiple tools in one. The build is sturdy and it maneuvers well. Overall it’s a great value and works really well.

Great Lightweight Steam Mop!
Size: Compact, Size: Compact
I’m really happy with the Schenley Steam Mop. It heats up in about 15 seconds and is ready to go almost instantly. It works well on my hardwood and tile floors, removing everyday dirt without needing any chemicals. It’s lightweight, easy to maneuver, and I love that it stands on its own. The washable pads and adjustable steam modes are a nice bonus. The water tank is a bit small, but for regular cleaning it’s perfect. Great value and very convenient for quick, effective cleaning!

Great versatile tool, not self-standing and missing a few accessories
Size: Standard
This is a great lightweight and versatile steam mop with good attachments. I would have given it five stars, but it is NOT self standing, does not auto-shut off, and does not have a built in cord wrap. You must manually buy the cord and then use their provided Velcro wrap to secure it in place. It also did not come with a storage bag for attachments, a cup to fill water tank, or a carpet glider. It’s water tank lasts a long time during steaming and when combined with a floor cleaner, I apply directly to the floor, works wonders for our two large dog’s footprints on our 1000 sq. ft. of laminate flooring. One to two tanks of water clean the entire square footage. After researching, I cannot find a better steam mop, with attachments that has all the features I want at $100. It also looks very sleek next to our Dyson. I would recommend.

The best!
Size: Standard, Size: Standard
This is definitely the best steam mop I have ever tried. It is easy to use and easy to assemble. I like the cord length. It covered my entire living room, kitchen and hallway. I just had to switch once! It comes with different attachments which you can use in your kitchen, and to clean windows etc. The mop pads are easy to clean and machine washable. It is definitely a must have if you want a clean, germ free home. Definitely recommended.

Absolutely Worth It!
Size: Standard
I've been using the Schenley Steam Mop for a few weeks now, and I'm genuinely impressed with how well it cleans. The steam heats up very quickly, and I love that I can clean my floors without using harsh chemicals. It easily removed dirt and sticky spots from my tile floors and left them looking fresh and sanitized. Very happy with the purchase!
