About Kenji Togashi 富樫 憲治

Master Kenji Togashi is a legendary blacksmith in Sakai, and one of the few blacksmiths in Japan with the skills of forging quality honyaki blades. Since the start of his bladesmithing career in 1966, master Togashi has received numerous accolades including Dentō-Kugeishi. Master Togashi is renowned for his mastery of this now endangered blacksmithing skill. Master Togashi makes blades out of his own workshop in Sakai, along with his three sons. He makes blades mainly for Sakai Takayuki.

About Hirotsugu Tosa 土佐 廣次

Born in 1948, Mr. Hirotsugu Tosa started his sharpener apprenticeship under his father at age 19. Mr. Tosa is renowned for his mirror finishing works on Aogami and Shirogami blades, as well as his exquisite edge grinding and polishing skills. He was recognised as Dentō-Kugeishi in 1996 for his artisan craftsmanship. Mr Tosa is the inhouse master of mirror polishing at Sakai Takayuki.

About Mizu-Honyaki 水本焼

Mizu-Honyaki is the highest level of Japanese knife making, involving a differential heat treatment achieved by applying clay mud on spine and hira of the blade before heating and water quenching. Very few blacksmiths have the skills of making quality mizu-honyaki, and the failure rate is very high as any tiny crack during the heat treatment forfeits the entire blade. A fine mizu-honyaki is always costly due to the scarcity of blacksmiths and high failure rate.

Care:

Shirogami #2 (white #2) steel is one of the most popular types of high carbon steel found in Japanese kitchen knives (Wa Knives). It is not stainless, therefore you must 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.

G for small dogs
My Havanese absolutely loves these small toys, which we refer to as pucks. They are the perfect size for him. His previous favorite was a small green pig, but ever since we purchased these for his second birthday, he has shown no interest in the pig. They are easy to throw and fit comfortably in his mouth. I plan to purchase more. I would not recommend for strong chewers. My only complaint is I wish they all had happy or crazy faces instead of angry or sad ones.

my dogs really loved this toy. I would highly recommend this, but the squeaker is louder than normal so if noise bothers you, then I would not recommend.

My dogs LOVE these toys!
Size: Small, Color: Assorted Color
These toys squeak loudly and my dogs all love them! My small dogs can eventually get the squeaker out but still carry them around and want us to throw them. They are something I keep on hand (with a supply of new ones available) to entertain them! They are not expensive and will always be their favorites.
