About Takeshi Saji 佐治 武士

Master Saji is the third generation blacksmith of Takefu City, Fukui Prefecture, who has been certified as a traditional knife craftsman at the age of 44.

Having become a legend in hunting knife making, Master Saji has a unique eye for fine finish, and he's also innovating constantly by bringing new looks to knives.

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.

Great toy for aggressive chewers plus cleans my dog’s teeth!
Style: Bone
I didn’t realize when I wrote this review but do now that small dog treats can be put in the ridges in this toy. My dog loves trying to get the treats out. This is an additional bonus to this great toy! This is a durable dog toy with 2 squeakers which are very entertaining to my dog. He loves toys that squeak! The color is great & has not faded since I’ve had it. It has a nice bounce to it when I throw it when we are playing. My dog is an American Pit Bull & has chewed through a lot of dog toys in the past. Not this one! He is an aggressive chewer & this has lasted. I also like the feature of this being a toy in which toothpaste can be applied to clean his teeth. I use Vet’s Best Enzymatic Dog Toothpaste & he loves it! With the way the toy is designed it is very easy to apply the toothpaste & it will not drip from the toy. It stays on toy long enough for my dog to “brush” his teeth while he chews the toy. I am very happy with this dog toy. It was well worth what I paid. I highly recommend!

Excellent durability but one safety hazard the squeakers comes out.
Style: Bone
Well made for chewing except the squeekers on each end can come out and choke the dog, my dog was chewing on the end of it, and the squeaker came out. I picked it up before he could swallow it. They are choking hazards. That’s the only part that was bad about the product. It’s very sturdy for my little puppy. He uses his mollars. He really gets down to business when he’s chewing 😂

NOT for aggressive chewers
Style: Bone, Style: Bone
This toy is not for aggressive chewers. I wish I would have looked at the reviews first. Our GSP chewed the end of the toy off within 5 minutes.
