    About Anryu Hamono 安立 打刃物

    Anryu Hamono is a distinguished knife-making workshop in Echizen, Japan, now led by Takumi Ikeda, the 5th-generation artisan carrying forward its legacy. Takumi-san, a nephew of the renowned Katsushige Anryu, trained extensively under his uncle’s guidance and has inherited the expertise and spirit of the Anryu family tradition. With deep respect for the craft, he continues to forge high-quality blades using time-honored techniques while also embracing innovation to refine the art of knife-making. The origins of Anryu Hamono trace back to 1873, when Hansaburo Anryu, the great-grandfather of Katsushige-san, established the workshop. Over generations, the Anryu family has upheld a tradition of excellence in blade craftsmanship. Katsushige Anryu, the 4th-generation master, joined the family business in 1959 and trained under his father, Katsutoshi Anryu, to become a certified traditional knife artisan. Renowned for both his exceptional work and integrity, he was elected chairman of the Takefu Knife Village Co-op, an association of Echizen’s finest knife makers. In 2015, he was honored with the Medal for Distinguished Service in Traditional Crafts. After more than six decades of dedication to the craft, Katsushige-san retired at the end of 2020, entrusting the future of Anryu Hamono to Takumi Ikeda. Under Takumi-san’s leadership, Anryu Hamono continues to honor its rich heritage while forging the future of Japanese knife-making—blending tradition with modern refinements to craft exceptional blades for professionals and enthusiasts alike.

    Care:

    Aogami #2 (Blue #2) steel is a premium Japanese high carbon steel for knife making. It is not stainless, therefore you must wipe your knife dry after each use, in particular the core steel not covered by the stainless cladding. Patina will develop over time, which will appear as “discoloration” on the cutting edge, but that is the nature of carbon steel - not a defect. The stainless cladding covers a large part of the blade, making maintenance easier but still preserving the cutting and sharpening pleasure of the Aogami Super core. 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.

    Perfect Calming Bed for Puppies
    Color: Dark Gray, Size: Small - 23”L x 23”W x 8”Th, Color: Dark Gray, Size: Small - 23”L x 23”W x 8”Th
    I bought this calming dog bed for my 10-week-old puppy and he absolutely LOVES it. The moment I put it in his pen he curled right up and fell asleep. The soft, fluffy material is incredibly cozy and supportive, and the raised edges make him feel safe and secure. As a new puppy owner, I wanted something that would help him relax and settle down, and this bed works amazingly well. He sleeps so peacefully in it and clearly feels comfortable. The quality is great, the cushion is thick, and it holds its shape nicely. If you have a puppy or a dog that likes to curl up, I highly recommend this bed. It truly is a calming bed! Bonus: it also looks really nice in the crate.

    Color: Dark Gray, Size: Medium - 30”L x 30”W x 8”Th
    If you follow the instructions inside for fluffing the bed, it's AMAZING! I myself sat in it and it was so soft and very comfortable. (I need one for my bed!😆) If you also follow the sizing chart, it's pretty accurate. My dog loves it!

    Great quality bed that my babies love
    Color: Dark Gray, Size: Large - 36”L x 36”W x 8”Th, Color: Dark Gray, Size: Large - 36”L x 36”W x 8”Th
    This dog bed is exactly what I was looking for! It's like a big pillow that my dogs love. My cat even loves the bed, he tries to steal it every chance he can lol. I was a little skeptical when the box arrived, but after opening and bluffing, it's good quality and super soft! I love that it can be thrown in the wash.

    nice quality but small is too small for a 22 lb pup
    Color: Beige, Size: Small - 23”L x 23”W x 8”Th
    gave 4 stars due to size, quality seems good, its very soft and thick as well as decent looking for the money, however the small says it fits up to 25 lbs and my 22 lb Frenchton (boston/frenchie mix) barely fits in it. In their defense if I didnt just pay attention to the weight and looked at the measurements then I would have bought a medium so its my fault too, but my advice if you have a dog over 20 lbs I would definitely get a medium
