We are very pleased to introduce these recent additions to our lineup from Tsunehisa Hamono. The company is quite large and has about 30 smiths making a wide variety of knives from some very interesting steels. In this case, AUS-10which is made by a steel company located in Tokai called Aichi Steels.
