About Kenji Togashi 富樫 憲治

Master Kenji Togashi is a legendary blacksmith in Sakai, and one of the few blacksmiths in Japan with the skills of forging quality honyaki blades. Since the start of his bladesmithing career in 1966, master Togashi has received numerous accolades including Dentō-Kugeishi. Master Togashi is renowned for his mastery of this now endangered blacksmithing skill. Master Togashi makes blades out of his own workshop in Sakai, along with his three sons. He makes blades mainly for Sakai Takayuki.

About Hirotsugu Tosa 土佐 廣次

Born in 1948, Mr. Hirotsugu Tosa started his sharpener apprenticeship under his father at age 19. Mr. Tosa is renowned for his mirror finishing works on Aogami and Shirogami blades, as well as his exquisite edge grinding and polishing skills. He was recognised as Dentō-Kugeishi in 1996 for his artisan craftsmanship. Mr Tosa is the inhouse master of mirror polishing at Sakai Takayuki.

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.

Fits smoothly
Size: Queen
I really like it. It fits smoothly with no wrinkles and no "crackling" noise. I have an older mattress that is not as deep as the newer mattresses and I have a hard time with new sheets being too loose and wrinkly. This mattress protector has all around elastic that should make it fit any size.

Very comfirtable
Size: Twin XL
With all the great reviews, I chose this brand mattress cover and am so glad I did. The cover went on easily, fits snugly and Stays on the mattress. Even tho the cover is not thick, it certainly makes a softer yet firm foundation to sleep on. There was no odor and no change in temperature. I think it is well worth the price.

Protects your mattress from toddler spills!
Size: Full, Size: Full
Writing this after my toddler spilled a ton of water on my bed (a new mattress). I didn't realize what she had done for about 1 minute. By the time I got her off the bed, pulled the sheet off and pulled the mattress protector off, the mattress was still dry! I felt the bottom plastic part of the mattress protector and could feel the coolness of the water, but not dampness. This thing works! Note, I don't know how it would perform if I had left it for a really long time. The protector is also very soft on top, not noisy, and easy to stretch over the mattress. You can kind of see the square shapes of the protector through the sheet, but I personally don't care. It was a great buy.
