    About Anryu Hamono 安立打刃物

    Anryu Hamono is a distinguished knife-making workshop in Echizen, Japan, now led by Takumi Ikeda, the 5th-generation artisan carrying forward its legacy. Takumi-san, a nephew of the renowned Katsushige Anryu, trained extensively under his uncle’s guidance and has inherited the expertise and spirit of the Anryu family tradition. With deep respect for the craft, he continues to forge high-quality blades using time-honored techniques while also embracing innovation to refine the art of knife-making. The origins of Anryu Hamono trace back to 1873, when Hansaburo Anryu, the great-grandfather of Katsushige-san, established the workshop. Over generations, the Anryu family has upheld a tradition of excellence in blade craftsmanship. Katsushige Anryu, the 4th-generation master, joined the family business in 1959 and trained under his father, Katsutoshi Anryu, to become a certified traditional knife artisan. Renowned for both his exceptional work and integrity, he was elected chairman of the Takefu Knife Village Co-op, an association of Echizen’s finest knife makers. In 2015, he was honored with the Medal for Distinguished Service in Traditional Crafts. After more than six decades of dedication to the craft, Katsushige-san retired at the end of 2020, entrusting the future of Anryu Hamono to Takumi Ikeda. Under Takumi-san’s leadership, Anryu Hamono continues to honor its rich heritage while forging the future of Japanese knife-making—blending tradition with modern refinements to craft exceptional blades for professionals and enthusiasts alike.

    Care:

    Aogami Super (Blue Super) steel is considered the most superior 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 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.

    Luxury pillows
    Color: White, Size: King(2Pack)
    I purchased these pillows to be used as sham fillers, however, the pillows are so great I am now using them for sleeping. The filling conforms to your sleeping position and provides a comfortable sleep. They come rolled in plastic and are paper thin. Once removed, they fluff up beautifully and very evenly. These pillows are high quality and a good value for the price. Highly recommend.

    Perfect for Decorative Shams!
    Color: White, Size: King(2Pack)
    I purchased the VAINOC king size pillows specifically to use inside decorative shams, and they are absolutely perfect for that purpose. They have just the right amount of firmness to keep the shams looking full and well-shaped without being overly stiff. I love how they instantly made my bed look more polished and put-together. The size fits beautifully in king shams, giving that plush, high-end look you usually see in hotels or magazines. The quality is great for the price, and they fluff up nicely without going flat. If you’re looking for affordable pillows to elevate your bedding decor, these are a great choice!

    Great fluffy ones
    Color: White, Size: King(2Pack)
    I originally order this pillows to use as Shams for an oversize king comforter but they came out to small for that, but after seen the qualitu i kept them for my daily use ones. The size is perfect, and the quality feels much higher than the price suggests. It's soft yet supportive, holds its shape well, and adds a real touch of comfort to the bed. For the price, it’s a fantastic deal. The pillow look big and they are super fuffly. Highly recommend if you're looking for great value without sacrificing quality!

    Fantastic pillow
    Color: White, Size: King(2Pack)
    Super comfortable for a bit of a firm pillow it is king size and lightweight, it gets pretty warm pretty quick, I stack both pillows on top of each other in the same pillow case for extreme support but that's just me.
