About Yoshihiko Akitomo 秋友 義彥

Akitomo Hamono, a family-owned business, boasts a rich history spanning three generations. The current master blacksmith, Yoshihiko Akitomo, born in 1944, learned the craft from his father and assumed leadership as the third-generation head in 1964. In 1995, the workshop developed its signature "Kougase-zukuri" (甲伏せ造り) method, driven by a desire to create unique, high-quality blades. This technique, inspired by traditional Japanese sword-making, involves wrapping steel around an ultra-soft iron core, resulting in blades with exceptional flexibility and durability.

Care:

Aogami #2 (Blue #2) steel is a premium 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 polyethylene 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 sudsy soap
I've been trying several all natural cleaning products and this is my favorite dish soap so far. Other all natural brands do not make near as many sides as this stuff. I compare the studs with this to what you get with Dawn, without all the harsh chemicals

Aroma Therapy During Dishwashing?
"So, once again, I was on the hunt for an effective and pleasant dishwashing product. The task became more challenging because it needed to not only clean well but also smell nice, and ideally, create a cozy atmosphere in the kitchen. In the end, I decided to try Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day. According to the manufacturer’s claims, this product is completely safe not only for health but also for the environment, as it is biodegradable, along with the packaging components. The packaging itself doesn’t say much—it’s the usual 16 ounces, though it’s sold in a pack of three bottles. The product is marketed as suitable for people who prefer natural products because it doesn’t contain harsh chemicals. I can honestly say that the product met all my expectations. The first thing you notice when you open the bottle is the amazing scent that literally fills your kitchen with the freshness and fragrance of Verbena. Since we wash dishes with hot water, it’s not just a scent, but a real aromatherapy experience during dishwashing. As for its effectiveness, this dish soap works great, dealing with grease, food remnants, and even burnt pans. Additionally, it foams up well, so there’s no need to use a lot of it. Now I actually enjoy washing dishes! The only downside is that the product does run out fairly quickly, especially when you have a large family and a lot of dishes. Of course, this isn’t really a flaw of the product itself, but considering it isn’t very cheap, I would have liked it to last longer or for the price to be a bit lower. Anyway, I’m completely satisfied. Mrs. Meyer’s has become my reliable kitchen helper, without harming the environment."

THIS STUFF WORKS!!!!!!
First of all - RUN, DON’T Walk & get this. IT WORKS!!! I kid you NOT, that I can literally feel sprouts of hair growing out of the roots of my head! After washing my hair And drying it, I part my hair into several sections and gently massage it into my scalp. After at least a day or so, I can feel the tickle in my scalp, it feels like grass slowly growing. I have plenty of hair, but I would love to actually see this product used on someone who doesn’t have hair like me. I am using the product because of a thinning spot that I have from a sew-in that I have had multiple times, and getting it parted in the same area for over a period of time. You can Not beat this product, especially for the price.

Don't not purchase!!!!
Color: A
This is product has over ingredients, its made in China and the shelf life is 3 years! No naturall product has a shelf life of a 3 years or any storing instructions. Just an FYI when buying any product, the ingredient that's the most in the product is the first on this list of ingredients WATER is the first, Batana Oil is second to the last. the packaging say 100%, 100% what? Its truely not Batana Oil. I am sending this back ASAP and working on my own mix for my hair growth. I am dealing with scared alopecia and have been searching for things to help with my hair growth. I am tried of companies thinking they will take my money. I was not able to see the ingredients until I recieved the package, which is not a terriable way to sell a product.

We love this stuff
Color: A, Color: A
My baby had an infection in his hair that he got once he started daycare. We tried everything to kill the fungus. It got so bad I had to take him to the doctor and they finally gave him some antibiotics and medicated shampoo. His head was so sore and tinder he didn’t want anyone to touch his head. So imagine trying to wash his hair everyday. The shampoo killed the fugus and took his hair out where it was. I purchased this product. IT REALLY WORKS!!!!!! We’ve been using it a few weeks and we definitely see a difference. P.S I went and purchased the whole set
