Makers
Shizu Hamono
Shizu Hamono Co. have been knife making since 1950 by using inherited techniques and traditions of sword masters from the Kamakura period. We have been stocking their knives for over two years and have the luxury of being the Australian exclusive stockist of the Yuri and Yamato lines. Each one is a beautifully hand-crafted marvel of artisanship with utility to match. I was delighted to be able to interview Hiroaki Wada, a representative at Shizu Hamano, and ask some questions about the company and tips for entry level chefs looking to invest in and get the most of their knives.
