About Mizuno Tanrenjo 水野鍛錬所 / Minamoto Akitada 源昭忠

Established in 1872, the Mizuno Tanrenjo workshop is one of the most prestigious blacksmith workshops in Japan. Five generations of Mizuno blacksmiths have worked on projects of cultural significance and won accolades for their craftsmanship. The works of 2nd generation blacksmith Masanori Mizuno still hangs on top of the pagoda at Japan's first UNESCO site, and the 3rd generation Akiharu Mizuno - a portage of Japan's national treasure blacksmith Teiichi Tsukiyama - has won a prestigious award for his honyaki yanagiba. The Mizuno family workshop has received two royal visits by Prince Mikasa of Japan, who is personally a fan of their craftsmanship. Today Mizuno Tanrenjo is led by 5th generation master blacksmith - Jun Mizuno (a.k.a. Noritada Mizuno) whose superior craftsmanship and extraordinary honyaki works have been recognized by two of Japan’s top Ichinomiyas (shrines) which have commissioned his katanas to become the shrines’ permanent collections.

About Mizu-Honyaki 水本焼

Mizu-Honyaki is the highest level of Japanese knife making, involving a differential heat treatment achieved by applying clay mud on spine and hira of the blade before heating and water quenching. Very few blacksmiths have the skills of making quality mizu-honyaki, and the failure rate is very high as any tiny crack during the heat treatment forfeits the entire blade. A fine mizu-honyaki is always costly due to the scarcity of blacksmiths and high failure rate.

Care:

Shirogami #2 (white #2) steel is one of the most 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. 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.

Beautiful end table that works well anywhere.
Color: Black, Number of Items: 1
The JUSTOGO end table immediately stands out thanks to its unique, modern design and practical features. Its rectangular shape makes it surprisingly versatile. You can position it to showcase the three open shelves for easy access and display, or use it as a narrower separation piece or traditional end table. That flexibility makes it adaptable to different rooms and layouts. One of the most thoughtful design choices is the placement of the built-in USB ports and power outlets. Located on the middle shelf, they don’t crowd the tabletop and still remain easily accessible for charging devices. This keeps the top surface clean and fully usable while ensuring cords aren’t stretched too far. The black finish is another plus. It’s neutral, clean-looking, and blends easily with a wide range of décor styles. If there’s a downside, it’s the assembly process. The instructions could be clearer, and while the advertised setup time is 20 minutes, it realistically takes closer to 40. That said, assembly is a one-time task, and once it’s complete, you’re left with a sturdy, functional, and visually appealing piece of furniture. Overall, it’s a smart combination of style and utility.

Pretty good so far
Color: White, Size: 6FT (2U1C)
Perfect small size for what I was looking for, I wanted one for my standing desk (and in white for a cleaner look) that didn't take up too much space but still offered all the ports I was looking for. The clamp works great, easy to install, I like that on top it has two tiny lights to indicate that it's on and working well. Mainly I really appreciate that it came with one of those white velcro cable wrap so I can properly wrap the excess length :)

Love the small size and desk mount bracket.
Color: Black, Size: 6FT (2U1C)
Great quality and perfect size to get rid of those old bulky switches for the desk. Saves a lot of desk space for the newer smaller platform computers. Having extra charging sockets build it also frees up plug space.

Great surge protector, huge space saver!
Color: Black, Size: 6FT (2U1C)
This surge protector is fantastic! It’s compact but still has enough room to house several large bulky adapter sized plugs without blocking access to the other outlets or ports. Clamp holds nice and tightly and it takes up much less room than a traditional power strip. It’s perfect.
