Maintenance

If you want to keep your Japanese knives in perfect condition, here are some must-haves: Wash knives by hand. Wipe with a dry cloth. Avoid dishwashers, which can cause damage to the edge. Keep the blade clean and dry after use. To rejuvenate the appearance, you can oil the blade and handle, preferably with linseed or camellia oil. Store knives in a dry place to prevent oxidation of the steel. Do not use for cutting or chopping frozen products or bones. The blade can chip or break.

SHIZU-HAMONO_BRAND-SLIM

Shizu Hamono je japonská značka nožů, která vychází z staleté kovářské tradice města Seki, známého jako „Město mečů“. Přestože byla společnost oficiálně založena v roce 1980, její zakladatel Masami Horibe začal s výrobou nožů již v roce 1959 - čímž pokračoval v odkazu řemeslného mistrovství sahajícího více než 700 let do minulosti. Název „Shizu“ vzdává hold legendárnímu mečíři Saburo Shizu a uctívá tak historické a řemeslné dědictví tohoto regionu.
