Our Yoshihiro Honyaki Aoko Mirror-Finished knives epitomize the highest quality in Japanese knife craftsmanship. The Ao Honyaki process is a meticulous method of pure water quenching that enhances the hardness of refined steel while imbuing it with exceptional resiliency, ensuring consistent performance in the most demanding conditions. The term Honyaki translates to "true forged," reflecting the timeless art of Japanese sword making. Crafted from a single piece of Blue Steel #2 with a hardness rating of 65 HRC, each knife is heated in furnaces that reach thousands of degrees and quenched using the Ao Honyaki technique to achieve remarkable hardness and durability. The blade is polished to a brilliant mirror finish, with incandescent wisps of light dancing across the surface of the blade's edge, known as the Hamon.

Our Honyaki Aoko knives are elegantly complemented by a traditional Japanese handle made from the finest Ebony, secured with a Water Buffalo horn bolster. This knife is accompanied by a protective lacquered magnolia wood saya, which is not only easy to clean but also resistant to stains and odors. This specific saya cover encases each knife beautifully, enhancing its appearance when not in use. For care, simply hand wash with a mild cleanser; all knives are NSF approved and handcrafted by skilled tradesmen in Japan.

The Yanagi is a long slicing knife specifically designed for creating thin slices of fish for sushi and sashimi, making it an essential tool in the arsenal of many chefs. The length and shape of the blade allow for long, uninterrupted strokes, preserving the freshness and integrity of the ingredient. The elegance of its thin blade, combined with its functionality, makes the Yanagi a powerful component in traditional Japanese cuisine, elevating even the simplest tasks to extraordinary levels.

Top of the line, best pillows Ive ever had
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
These pillows are top of the line! I bought them in 2024 and they are still fluffy. When they lose a little fluff, you just punch em around a little bit and voila, like new again. They have kept their shape cery well and do great for cooling. I haven't had to add more filling yet either. I just laid my head on one and thought, I need to do a review cause everytime i lay on these pillows its like clouds. My head is heavy and this is relief :-D

Weird smell
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
The pillows are great for someone looking for something cool and comfortable. We loved them so much that we bought a second pair. However, we were seriously disappointed with the odor of our last purchase. They give off a strong and indescribable chemical/burning plastic smell so nauseating that it’s difficult to sleep with. We’re hoping this issue will resolve with a couple more washes of the pillow cases, but am worried the source is the stuffing itself.

helped treat my sore neck
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Camping Pillow(Pack of 1)
This pillow — after dialing in the right amount of shredded foam — has greatly helped my sore neck. Initially, I had to remove some foam. Then I gradually added foam until it reached optimum comfort and support. It is also CPAP-friendly — especially when I position my head near the pillow's edge. (I am a left-side sleeper.) I like the travel size because I use a bulky hugging pillow to ease stress on my shoulder and elbow. That makes my side of the bed feel cramped if using a larger head pillow. A smaller pillow is easy to flip end-to-end in the middle of the night. I have spent lots of money on pillows over the years, but this is the best I've ever had for relieving [1] neck pain and [2] CPAP mask seal problems. Very comfortable, supportive, and affordable. I did not notice any unpleasant smell — and I am usually sensitive to that kind of thing. Would highly recommend.

Love them!
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
Love them! After 10 years with our MyPillows, they finally lost their fluff. The reviews I read of the MyPillows of today were not good; they didn’t have as much filling as they used to. These pillows remind me of how fluffy our new MyPillows were 10 years ago!! You sink right into them and can mush them however and they stay. These are way cheaper than the Coop and it’s the same concept; add or remove the filling as needed. The cooling side is a huge plus too! You won’t be disappointed with these pillows!
