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

Myojinriki Seisakusho is a Kochi-based knifemaking 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 Sakai knifemakers. 

Tateo’s son Naohito-san - being a rebellion youth- refused to join the family business, until he sharpened his friend’s knife and received a compliment from his friends. The joy he got from doing it changed his mind, and he decided to be an apprentice under his father. Now just in his early 30s, Naohito already has over a decade of knife making experience under his belt. He has new ideas for the family business, and has recently launched a new family brand - Tetsujin Knife Labo (鉄人刃物ラボ).

Care:

Aogami #2 (Blue #2) 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 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.

Works Fast! Finally Getting a Great Night's Sleep.
If you struggle with insomnia like Ihave for years, try these, they work incredibly well and have completely fixed my sleep routine! ​I usually take one about 20 to 30 minutes before I want to go to bed, and like clockwork, a gentle relaxation washes over me and I drift right off to sleep. Great fast shipping.. thanks!!

Everyone is different but worked for me!
These work for me! They don't have a taste, pill size isn't too big and definitely a great price for what you get. Puts me to sleep within 30-60 minutes. Everyone is different, but they definitely worked for me!

Smallish pills!
Great way to take melatonin. The pills are small enough so you don't choke and they work pretty fast. I've no idea about the taste, but it doesn't seem to have one. Sometimes I feel groggy in the morning but not overly so. Pretty good product.
