Description & specifications
Gihei Hamono.
Atsushi Hosokawa-san and Takashi Hosokawa-san, father and son, are the 4th and 5th generation blacksmiths behind Gihei knives. Gihei Hamono works to preserve traditional methods and skills, as well as experimenting with new methods and steels to keep up with the development of technology. That is why they work a lot with the "super steel" types ZDP189 and HAP40, hoping to get the best of both worlds of carbon steel and stainless steel.
