About Miyazaki Kajiya 宮崎鍛冶屋

Haruo Miyazaki is one of young generation blacksmiths in Japan. Graduated from high school, Miyazaki went to Fukuoka to learn from Master Toshio Ohba whom initially turned him down. With perseverance and determination, Miyazaki was finally accepted and trained for 5 years learning all details of knife-making. After that, he has returned to his hometown Goto Islands to open his own workshop, Miyazaki Kajiya (宮崎鍛冶屋).

Miyazaki is a firm believer of craftsmanship that comprises of hundred years of human wisdom, which cannot be replaced by machinery despite the efficiency. Made to last for years, all knives from Miyazaki Kajiya have a Camellia flower stamp on the blade as a signature of his dedicated work.

Care:

Ginsan (Gin3 or Silver #3) is a stainless carbon steel, with 14% added Chromium. Retaining the character of Japanese carbon steel, with similar hardness of Shirogami #2, Ginsan is stainless. It's edge retention is only slightly inferior to Shirogami #2, but the fact that it combines ease of sharpening, carbon steel character as well being stainless makes it a great choice for those who wish to have a Japanese carbon steel knife that is easy to maintain.

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.

Poor quality and false advertising in size
Size: 4/0 AWG 10FT Red & Black
A complete fraud. I ordered 4/0 but got 4 gauge. The description & picture was correct, but someone doesn’t know the difference in 4 gauge and 4/0. AND the jacket insulation was cheap and translucent, not solid color and supple/flexible. Poor product quality and completely misleading.

Inexpensive part and YouTube knowledge lead to quick fix
Size: 96158T-1PCS
Solenoid went out on boat. After viewing multiple videos on YouTube I figured that my solenoid was bad. Ordered this and received a day later. Replaced the other one and this worked perfectly.

Worked perfectly!
Size: 96158T-1PCS
Have an older Mercury 40hp 2 stroke. This Solenoid worked perfectly. It is not that easy to install, due to the design of the engine. It does require a bit of patient and the right tools to do it. If you have big hands and don't do this type of repair to often, call a friend that is better than you to get some help :) I have an older engine but it runs like charm. I will order an extra Solenoid and place in the box of "important spare parts" for the future. Very good experience for the purchase and overall quality of the part.

Perfect fit and works great
Size: 96158T-2PCS
Perfect fit and works great. It is great that it comes as a 2pk. I replaced both with no need to change wiring, and kept the working one I had, as backup.

It works as it should...
Size: 96158T-2PCS
Used it in a pinch for stater relay... it works great. Be aware... Mine required metric sockets for the nuts... 10mm for large terminals - 3/8 was too tight and same for smaller terminals 7mm fit better than 5/16 that was too loose. The mounting holes are also spaced closer together than the OEM on a mercruiser 260 in a mid 1980's boat but easy to remedy with a 1/4" drill bit.
