Extremely rare piece of art handcrafted by “Damascus Artist” Shoichi Hashimoto (橋本 庄市) using Aogami #2 and Shirogami #2 carbon steel core, clad with soft iron. Hashimoto’s creativity can be seen from how he created the usual Damascus pattern by mixing two types of steels, and his attention to detail is showcased in the matching pattern on the blade and the D-shaped handle made of stabilized wood. Decorated with marble buffalo horn, three silver ginmakis and two mosaic pins, the knife is a true piece of art that the “Damascus Artist” spent months to create.

About Shoichi Hashimoto 橋本 庄市

Master Shoichi Hashimoto (橋本 庄市) is a distinguished figure in high-end Japanese knifemaking, celebrated for his skill in crafting both artistic Damascus steel and high-performance chef knives. His journey into knifemaking is rooted in a lifelong fascination with edged objects and a deep understanding of metallurgy. Unlike most of blacksmiths in Japan, master Hashimoto received higher education in a university, and discovered Damascus steel making while obtaining art degree. Hashimoto became a respected Damascus Artist in Japan, combining his art foundation with deep knowhow of metallurgy. Describing himself as a “Modelling Knifemaker,” Hashimoto approaches knife making with an artistic and sculptural sensibility. He is a one-man operation, designing, forging Damascus steel, and sharpening each blade, demonstrating his commitment to quality. His knives showcase a blend of art and function, making him sought-after by knife collectors.

Care:

Aogami #2 (Blue #2) steel and Shirogami #2 (white #2) are 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.

Very Poor Built Quality
Color: Black, Size: 3-Panel
They use cheap tarp like cloth that you might find on a tent, so it is not suitable as a teleconferencing background without blur applied. The legs are flimsy and lack rubber feet, so it will scratch floors. The tubing is flimsy and very hard to move and adjust. This is only good if you are setting it up somewhere like a gym or a garage.

Rustic Wall Shelves That Just Work
Size: 17inch, Color: Black
I bought these six floating shelves to add some storage and a cohesive look to a few walls around the house. The set has a rustic real wood vibe with an industrial edge, and the black finish keeps things feeling clean and understated. It turned out to be a practical way to create space without committing to a bulky cabinet, and I appreciated having multiple pieces to arrange in different rooms. Installation was straightforward. The package includes 12 brackets, wall anchors and screws, plus clear directions, so I could get them up without much hassle. It takes about eight minutes to mount each shelf, and the hardware feels solid. The shelves can hold around 20 pounds each, which is plenty for everyday items like books, a plant, an alarm clock, or framed photos. In use, the look is exactly what I wanted: sturdy, simple, and able to blend with existing decor across the bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and living room. The real wood surface and the exposed metal brackets give a cohesive, rustic vibe that elevates plain walls and makes it easy to rotate items in and out. One small note is that the boards are 17 inches long and about an inch thick, so planning spacing and wall space matters a bit. The brackets being visible is part of the look, not a flaw, but it means accurate mounting is important. Overall I am very pleased with the set and it earns a solid five stars.
