    About Kisuke 貴輔 / Manaka Hamono 間中刃物鍛錬所

    Kisuke Manaka is the 5th generation blacksmith at Manaka Hamono, a workshop founded in 1872 in Kasukabe, Saitama Prefecture of Japan. Kisuke Manaka did not inherit the workshop from his own family, instead he was married into the Manaka family, and eventually became a full-time, professional blacksmith. Since his father-in-law (the 4th generation Manaka) was more a retailer, he was not capable of teaching Kisuke Manaka any blacksmithing skills. Luckily, Kisuke Manaka’s grand-father-in-law (the 3rd generation Manaka) had left a lot of tools and equipment, as well as books and notes on blacksmithing, he was able to teach himself during the process, and had master Tsukasa Hinoura as his mentor.

    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.

    Good quality for the price

    Seamless floating shelves that look and feel great. I opted to use different drywall anchors since I didn't trust the ones that came with the product. I have bad drywall and no studs where I was mounting so that doesn't fall back onto the product. The shelves are true to size and have held up great. The shelves themselves aren't too heavy so it leaves some room to add weight onto them. I used the 30in long shelf on the left and 24in long shelf on the right to create a nice corner shelf. There are additional screws on the bottom the keep the shelves from moving off the bracket.

    Beautiful for decor, not great for anything with heft.

    They are easy to install and exactly as pictured. I find them to be lovely and uniform, and they can't with proper instructions and even extra pieces. I took away a star because they are described as "heavy duty" use, but the dowels used to mount the shelves are flimsy. Mine are mounted on combo of studs and drywall, the plates are secure and not going anywhere. The problem is the dowels themselves that fit into the corresponding holes of the shelf: they bend easily. I put three books and bookends on one shelf and watched it tip down. I did attach the bottom screws into the dowels I secure the shelf to the mounting brackets, but that's not going to save any items from sliding off as it bends down over time. I pulled the books immediately and decided to use these for decor only rather than any practical use. The stock photo suggesting lining these shelves with glass jars filled with flour, rice, and lentils is a terrible idea.
