About Otsuka Hamono 大塚刃物

From his secluded forge in the mountains of Chizu, Tottori, third-generation blacksmith Otsuka Yoshifumi represents a legacy reborn through sheer will. Largely self-taught after his father’s untimely passing, he works alone, embracing a solitary dedication to his craft. Using a traditional coke forge to preserve the steel’s integrity, he masterfully transforms Aogami #1 and exceptionally rare tatara steel into fully bespoke blades. Each creation is a direct dialogue with its future owner, resulting in tools of sublime sharpness and durability. The year-long waitlist underscores the deep allure of his uncompromising, personal artistry.

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 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.

Seems high quality, makes a good treat.
Pattern Name: Strip, Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
It's expensive, and I won't buy again most likely as I use Honest Kitchen Fish Wolfskin large chews daily to keep my dogs teeth clean (saves thousands on dentals at the vet) however, my dogs love this treat and gobble it up when offered. I was hoping it would last longer and work as teeth cleaners like the wolfskin fish chews do. Nevertheless it's a high quality food treat, and maybe I will buy again just for the occasional treat. I don't give my dogs a lot of treats much to their chagrin, but they are also not overweight either. It's not fattening and has no carbohydrates and it's not ultra-processed. I would recommend this as a treat.

Perfect chew for small dogs
Pattern Name: Strip, Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
These turkey tendons are the perfect treat/chew for smaller dogs and puppies. I like that there is zero odor compared to other natural treats (looking at you smelly bully sticks). It's perfect for small dogs and older dogs that aren't aggressive chewers anymore. I love that they are all natural and not too difficult to chew for my older dog. She loves them, I love them.
