About Masutani Hamono 増谷刃物

Masutani Hamono is a small knifemaker based in Echizen, the “Knife City” of Japan. As fourth generation blacksmith as well as brother of the owner of Ryusen Hamono, Kunio Masutani (増谷 訓生) has more than 30 years of knifemaking experience. Mr. Masutani’s motto is to make affordable and practical kitchen knives to be used in normal households. He pays great attention to the cutting performance and the easiness in maintenance as well as the aesthetic quality of his knives.

Care:

Wash and dry with a soft sponge, and safely store after use. 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.

Great Cabin Filter Upgrade
Style: BE-729H 1-Pack, Style: BE-729H 1-Pack
I recently replaced my old cabin air filter with this one, and the difference was noticeable right away. Installation was quick and straightforward took less than 10 minutes with no special tools needed. What I appreciate most is the air quality improvement. The airflow feels stronger, and there’s a clear reduction in dust, odors, and outside pollution entering the cabin. If you’re looking for an easy, affordable upgrade that actually makes a difference in everyday driving comfort, this cabin filter is definitely worth it.

Fit is ok
They are a definite improvement from my original 22 year old grills but they have some clear differences in quality of the chroming, if you compare oem to these side by side the oem grills look smoother. also they don't fit great at least not on my car, albeit with a bit of nudging they fit pretty close to the originals. Overall not bad for something that is a quarter of the price of the oem part
