    About Anryu Hamono 安立 打刃物

    Anryu Hamono is a distinguished knife-making workshop in Echizen, Japan, now led by Takumi Ikeda, the 5th-generation artisan carrying forward its legacy. Takumi-san, a nephew of the renowned Katsushige Anryu, trained extensively under his uncle’s guidance and has inherited the expertise and spirit of the Anryu family tradition. With deep respect for the craft, he continues to forge high-quality blades using time-honored techniques while also embracing innovation to refine the art of knife-making. The origins of Anryu Hamono trace back to 1873, when Hansaburo Anryu, the great-grandfather of Katsushige-san, established the workshop. Over generations, the Anryu family has upheld a tradition of excellence in blade craftsmanship. Katsushige Anryu, the 4th-generation master, joined the family business in 1959 and trained under his father, Katsutoshi Anryu, to become a certified traditional knife artisan. Renowned for both his exceptional work and integrity, he was elected chairman of the Takefu Knife Village Co-op, an association of Echizen’s finest knife makers. In 2015, he was honored with the Medal for Distinguished Service in Traditional Crafts. After more than six decades of dedication to the craft, Katsushige-san retired at the end of 2020, entrusting the future of Anryu Hamono to Takumi Ikeda. Under Takumi-san’s leadership, Anryu Hamono continues to honor its rich heritage while forging the future of Japanese knife-making—blending tradition with modern refinements to craft exceptional blades for professionals and enthusiasts alike.

    Care:

    Aogami #2 (Blue #2) steel is a premium Japanese high carbon steel for knife making. 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 Aogami Super 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 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.

    Durable
    Color: S6-muti-color
    The balls are great for chewers. The squeaky didn’t last long but they are perfect for the ball launcher.

    The squeeker isn't durable, but the balls themselves are.
    Color: S6-muti-color, Color: S6-muti-color
    I have two 70+lb, ball obsessed dogs (a field bred Golden Retriever, and an Old Time Scotch Collie), and these balls are living up to the abuse they're receiving. In the fall we always lose a ball or two in the yard due to getting lost in leaves or longer grass, so I always try and buy a multi pack at the start of the season, so went with these this year. I'm glad I did. Great price for a 6 pack, they fit the medium Chuck-It launcher (a little loosely, but they throw just fine), have great bounce, they FLOAT (which means I didn't lose any at the beach), and they're super durable to the dreaded "mouth squish." The squeaker dies pretty quick, like, within a day, but it isn't the kind that can fall out or choke your dog, so no worries there. The boys are happy, I'm happy, my wallet is happy - I've already ordered another pack.

    Great Value for a ball my dog loves!
    Color: S6-muti-color
    I wish these ball were in the subscription program! My dog gets sooo excited by the new ball, but her interest in things lasts for a few days. She kills the squeak within 11minutes, but the squeaker stays in place rather than becoming a chocking or swallow hazard, and she still loves to chew it. Next, we must throw the ball approximately 723 times the first day, possibly 496 times on day 2, and just 3- 4 on day 3, at which point she will chase the ball before hollering "it's over here if you need it," while she checks on the chipmunk den. We currently have 17 of these balls in our yard (because we have given several leftovers to a less discriminating doodle next door). These balls hold up really well, get her extremely active for the first couple of days, and are a much cheaper than doggie daycare (after an active morning with a new ball, she is happy to chew on it and sleep much of the day). I always have these on hand!
