About Kamotou Hamono 加茂藤刃物

Master Shiro Kamo is the third generation blacksmith of Kamotou Hamono, a small artisan knife workshop based in Takefu City, Fukui Prefecture, Japan. He started helping his father in the workshop when he was a small kid and started making knives at the age of 25. He was certified as a traditional craftsman at the age of 45. And for decades, Mr. Kamo perfected forging techniques that make knives easier to sharpen while maintaining superior edge retention capabilities. Now in his 60s, he works on preserving and passing down the traditional crafting methods to his disciples (the youngest being 19 years old) at Kamotou Hamono.

Care:

Wash and dry with a soft sponge, and safely store after use. 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.
