About Goko Hamono 五香刃物

Gokou Hamono is a tiny knife making workshop located in Kashiwa City, Chiba Prefecture that is run by Norihiko Yamakawa (八間川憲彦) and Yoshito Yamakawa (八間川義人), the father and son team. Norihiko Yamakawa (the father) first founded Gokou Hamono in 1990 as a cutley wholesaler, before turning it into a knife making workshop in 1995 with the help from blacksmith Moriei Seki (関守永). Yoshito Yamakawa (the son), a high school student at that time, shadowed his father and eventually became a blacksmith himself. “Telling no lies” and “Dedication” are Gokou Hamono’s philosophy. The father and son team would not call themselves “masters”, because they think one will always have room to improve, and self-pride would hinder self-reflection. As a result, Gokou Hamono’s knives can only get better and better in the future. Only knives made by Yamakawa-san are engraved Kogetsu Made (

光月作).

Care:

Shirogami #1 (white #1) steel is one of the popular types of high carbon steel found in Japanese kitchen knives (Wa Knives). 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 Shirogami 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 polyethylene 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 purchase for the price point
Style: Steam Mop
This mop is perfect as it is compact while being easy to use. Stuck food on the floor? Not after using this. Crayon? Vanishes. Sticky substance? no more. Great but for the price

It is a keeper for sure!
Style: Steam Mop
This is about 100% better than I ever imagined. It has every feature I want and none of the stuff I don't want. It has a SUPER long cord, it heats up quick and works exactly as it is supposed to. I steam cleaned everything from my stained concrete floors, THE ENTIRE COUCH, and low pile area rugs. Love this thing and SO MUCH cheaper that the competing brands.

Great Starter Knife Set With Everything You Need
Size: 9-Piece, Style: Traditional Handle Design
5/5 stars for the Amazon Basics High Carbon Stainless Steel Knife Set. I have been really impressed with this set overall and it has handled pretty much every kitchen task I have thrown at it so far. Right out of the box the knives were insanely sharp and felt much higher quality than I was expecting for the price. One of the biggest pros is the variety of knives included. It comes with basically every knife you would need for normal cooking and kitchen use which makes it a great all-in-one set. The knives also have a really nice weight to them and feel balanced in the hand instead of feeling cheap or flimsy. The grip is nice as well not slippery and while using it I feel like it stays put in my hand. They have held up well with regular use and have been easy to clean after cooking. The high carbon stainless steel has also done a good job resisting rust and staining which is important for a set that gets used often. Another nice addition is the included honing rod which helps maintain the edge and keep the blades performing well over time. I did notice that the edge on the knife I use the most has started to wear down a tiny bit after extended use, but that is expected with pretty much any frequently used kitchen knife and can usually be maintained with regular honing. As for cons, the wooden knife block is nice looking but I could see it potentially cracking over time if it is not taken care of properly or exposed to too much moisture. Other than that, I really do not have many complaints with this set. Overall I think this is a fantastic knife set for anyone who just moved out and needs a complete kitchen setup or for someone wanting to replace an older worn out knife set. I actually gifted a set to my in-laws already and they have been loving it as well. I would definitely recommend it.

Good For Living On The Edge
Size: 9-Piece, Style: Traditional Handle Design
It was past time to replace my dollar store chef knife with a decent set with a bread knife and no steak knives. I first looked at Wüsthof as I always liked that brand, but never owned any. I used a borrowed paring knife for a while and was impressed with the quality. My line cooking time is over and though I would have liked to have a set of forged Wüsthofs, the price was too much for occasional use. My favorite chef knife was a 10" wide Victorinox/Forschner until it got stolen. I replaced it with an 8" version, but it was not wide and felt very different. Still my first choice for stamped high-carbon stainless steel blades. Again, the price for a set was a bit high for use once in a while. I spotted the Amazon Basics 9-Piece Premium Kitchen Knife Block Set. Wait. A forged high carbon stainless steel knife set for that price? I read through all the reviews even the one with the picture of the broken knife, the set seems to be a good buy. Certainly better than a dollar-store knife and a few dollars more than an empty knife block. While I haven't given them a good workout on food yet, I can tell they are very good given the price. I would have liked the chef's knife to be a bit wider, but I can live with it as is. I tried the index finger and thumb holding test on the chef knife and it was comfortable, but not so much on the Santoku knife. I am new to the Santoku Knife. I guess I would hold and use it more like a cleaver. The knives all feel pretty sharp out of the box, though like nearly all new knives, they need some fine-tuning to be really sharp. Sure they are not a top-name branded knife set and if I was still a working line cook I would choose a different set, but as a casual home cook, I like these very much.
