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:

Aogami #2 (Blue #2) steel is a premium Japanese high carbon steel for knife making. Despite some corrosion resistant quality (for a carbon steel), it is not stainless, therefore you should wipe your knife dry after each use. Patina will develop over time. Rust may develop if left in prolonged contact with water or acidic food. Use a rust eraser to clean if rusts develop. 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.

Don't Settle For Less
Format: Paperback
This book gave me the revelation and encouragement to get back what the enemy had stolen. Persistence is a key. This book increased my faith to receive God's promises for our lives. I learned to not be weary in well doing. My wife and I received much breakthrough. I sometimes revisit this book for a fresh reminder. This book is full of revelation and encouragement. It isn't just information but teaches you to put into practice a path to being an overcomer.

Recovery for Physical & Spiritual Losses!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
9/22/24:God's timing is perfect, as is the timing of the release of this book, as I'm walking through an extended loss period and am ready to move on to the next chapter of my life (nicknamed "Job"). I first learned about this book via an author interview on CBN's "700 Club;" which totally piqued my interest, so I ordered it. Honestly, it was difficult for me to get through the forward & intro; however, I feel like the spirit of "distraction" was fighting me, warring against me taking back what I've lost via God. I powered through (while receiving an amazing amount of info from author), and by the time I got through the first several pages of chapter 1, the author's writing style relaxed, information flow slowed (going from drinking out of a fire hydrant to sipping out of a hose), it's become an easier read, full of great detailed information, scriptures for validation, deeply meaningful prayers & contracts offered as instruments for your recovery- use as weapons & armor against the enemy (if you choose), as well as examples of real life applications & their baffling/astounding results (as a visual learner this helped me visualize how these methods can be applied & worked). Jane Hamon writes this book in a way that you can IMMEDIATELY apply what you've read to your life- no need to wait to the end & tie it up all together with a neat bow. I will be able to apply this to many areas of my life & lives of others. Jane also included several pages of "Notes," enabling you to dig deeper into the various subjects & info the author reviewed for this amazing book. I've already sent this to people I know are suffering & open to hearing this word & immediately apply these prayers, contracts, exercises, etc to their lives. Remember, this IS a WAR FOR YOUR SOUL! Don't let distractions/evil pull you away from working through this towards your victory! I pray you are successful in heavenly replevin recovery, standing in the light of God, with the Holy Spirit riding within your heart, and Christ as your lamp that lights your path. God bless you. THANK YOU JANE HAMON! 9/24/24: To correct MISINFORMATION IN OTHER REVIEWS: In first 2 chapters alone, these Bible versions are specifically quoted: TPT, NIV, NLT, NASB, KJV, ESV, MSG... possibly more, but I just skimmed to bring forward this CORRECT info.
