Ashi Hamono is a Sakai based knife maker producing high quality western style Japanese kitchen knives. Their knives are known for exceptional fit and finish.

The “銀香(Ginga)” series is Ashi Hamono’s original product line. Ginga knives use world-famous Sweden stainless steel. Ginga’s superb sharpness is a result of a careful heat-treatment process as well as hatsuke (the process of giving a final edge), done by skilled professionals. Ashi Hamono also makes carbon steel Ginga knives. And handles can be either western or Japanese style.

The Ginga series is widely used by many well-known Japanese restaurants – Try the professional quality and great cutting ability of Ginga for yourself. (Translated from Ashi Hamono)
