Goko Hamono
Goko Hamono is one of the last remaining shops making their knives by hand in the Chiba region which is just outside of Tokyo. These knives are forged from Shirogami #1 steel and have stainless cladding giving you the benefit of the Carbon steel and the cutting edge and the ease of maintenance of stainless steel protecting it. They have a faint but very beautiful Nashiji finish on them and the dark handles contrast with the light coloured blades really nicely. Fit and Finish on these knives is great, Ferrule and Handle come together very nicely with no bumps or spaces and the blade and handle are fit together very nicely as well.
