About Nakagawa Hamono 中川打刃物

Satoshi Nakagawa (中川悟志) is a relatively young knifemaker based in the famous city of Sakai in Japan. 16 years ago, he started learning from legend artisan Kenichi Shiraki (白木健一), one of the very best blacksmiths in Japan. As master Shiraki retired and closed his workshop in 2020, the torch has been passed down to Satoshi Nakagawa, Shiraki’s only Deshi (disciple). In April 2021, Satoshi Nakagawa-san launched his own workshop Nakagawa Hamono.

About Myojin Riki Seisakusho 明神利器製作所 / Tetsujin Knife Labo 鉄人刃物ラボ

Myojin Riki Seisakusho is a Kochi-based knife making workshop run by Tateo Myojin 明神健雄) and Naohito Myojin (明神直人), the father and son team. Tateo, who was born in the largely rural Kochi Prefecture in 1950, developed his interest in blade forging at a young age, so he went to Sakai, Osaka Prefecture, the famous city of forged knives, to receive training from renowned knifemakers. 

Tateo’s son Naohito didn’t like the family business, because he was bored of doing the same thing over and over again - until he sharpened his friend’s knife and received a compliment from his friend. It was the first time Naohito had ever found knife-sharpening a rewarding task. Now just in his early 30s, Naohito already has over a decade of experience in the knife industry. He's now launching his new family brand - Tetsujin Knife Labo.

Care:

Aogami #1 (Blue #1) 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 polyethylene 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.

Nice golf pullover
Size: XX-Large, Color: Colony Blue Melange
Nice pullover 1/4 zip. Quality is pretty decent, the color and fit is really good. Leaves good flex room in the shoulders. The material isn’t to heavy and can be worn with a vest if needed. The only thing about the fit is the sleeve length. I wear in a dress shirt 35”-36” length and this hangs past my thumb.

Great 1/4 Zip for money
Size: 4X-Large, Color: Black Melange
This quarter zip pullover is a great addition to any wardrobe. The fabric is lightweight, breathable, and does a nice job wicking away moisture, making it perfect for golf or any outdoor activity. The fit is true to size with a clean, athletic look—not too tight and not too loose. The material feels smooth. The zipper is sturdy, and the overall quality is impressive for the price. It also holds up well after washing without losing shape. Nice material, wrinkle resistant and soft. Great for the course, workouts, or even casual wear. Highly recommend!

True to size and great quality
Size: X-Large, Color: Colony Blue Melange
This shirt fits true to size. It is very soft and comfortable. The fabric is a thinner fabric that can be worn over dress shirts. The quality of the shirt seems to be very good. I have bought these pullovers in multiple colors, and they all seem to be consistent with the quality and size.

Received the wrong size
Size: X-Large, Color: Navy Melange
Seemed and looked like a decent quality shirt. A little lighter weight than I expected. I ordered an XL, but received a Large, which did not fit. Returned it and bought a similar shirt in a different brand.
