Ashi Hamono has over seven decades of history in Sakai city and is known for making knives using one piece of steel (aka “zenkou” construction).

The thinness behind the edge and convex geometry helps blaze through the densest ingredients with little resistance, yet despite is durable enough to use as a daily driver. 

A chef's knife ('Gyuto' in Japanese) is the most versatile blade that can handle almost anything in the kitchen. Their shape and often generous edge length mean that whether it's cutting small tomatoes or portioning a large roast, you can do it with one blade. Most cooks have multiple chef's knives and it is not hard to justify getting one more when it has so much utility.
