    About Anryu Hamono 安立 打刃物

    Katsushige Anryu is the 4th generation knife artisan at Anryu Hamono, a small knife making workshop in Echizen started by his great grandfather Hansaburo Anryu in 1873. Katsushige-san joined the family business in 1959 at a very young age. Under the guidance of his father Katsutoshi Anryu, he mastered traditional knife forging and became a certified traditional knife artisan. Highly respected for his works and his integrity, Katsushige-san was elected the chairman of the Takefu Knife Village Co-op, an association of Echizen's best knife makers. He was recognized in 2015 for the medal of honourable work of traditional crafts. 

    Care:

    Aogami Super (Blue Super) steel is considered the most superior Japanese high carbon steel for knife making. 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 Aogami Super 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 interactive toy for energetic dogs
    This ball has been a great way to keep my dog entertained, especially when I can’t play nonstop. The movement really grabs their attention, and the 3 play modes are a nice touch depending on how energetic your dog is feeling. It works well both indoors and outside, and my dog loves chasing it around. It's not noisy at all and has thicker material so it cannot be easily chewed or ripped. The E-TPU material feels durable and has held up well so far, even with pretty rough play. It’s easy to use, simple to switch modes, and keeps my dog busy for a good amount of time without getting bored. Definitely a fun and engaging toy for medium to large dogs, especially if they need extra stimulation. Would recommend for supervised play!
