About Shoichi Hashimoto 橋本 庄市

Master Shoichi Hashimoto (橋本 庄市) is a distinguished figure in high-end Japanese knifemaking, celebrated for his skill in crafting both artistic Damascus steel and high-performance chef knives. His journey into knifemaking is rooted in a lifelong fascination with edged objects and a deep understanding of metallurgy. Unlike most of blacksmiths in Japan, master Hashimoto received higher education in a university, and discovered Damascus steel making while obtaining art degree. Hashimoto became a respected Damascus Artist in Japan, combining his art foundation with deep knowhow of metallurgy. Describing himself as a “Modelling Knifemaker,” Hashimoto approaches knife making with an artistic and sculptural sensibility. He is a one-man operation, designing, forging Damascus steel, and sharpening each blade, demonstrating his commitment to quality. His knives showcase a blend of art and function, making him sought-after by knife collectors.

Care:

Aogami #2 (Blue #2) steel and Shirogami #2 (white #2) are premium Japanese high carbon steel for knife making. Despite some corrosion resistant quality (for a carbon steel), it is not stainless, therefore you should 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.

Absolutly beautiful
I was really impressed after putting it together. I wanted something that was taller than I at 5'5" and got just that. The colors are beautiful and it matches my floors and parts of my walls. Can't wait to put things on it.

Less mess, more style!
Color: Gold, Color: Gold
So happy with this purchase! I was a tiny bit wary buying an item without any reviews yet, however I saw that the other caddies from this brand all had many positive reviews and seemed to be good quality. The diatomaceous earth base of this caddy elevated this option to me, so I went for it. I've had it out for a few days and am extremely happy that I went with this option! It absorbs water super quickly, so there are no more rings and residue left on the top of my sink, and it makes my countertop look that much more cute and put-together. Heads up it is a little deep compared to some other trays/caddies; I knew this ahead of time so planned to put it directly to the side of my sink so that it did not overlap. I think the size is worth it, since it accommodates about 2 soap products and has plenty of adjustable room for bottle brushes, sponges, drain stoppers, and whatever other items you need. Overall, I highly recommend!

Sturdy and does the job well.
Color: Black
Very stable. Have a narrow ledge on my sink and it balances great without falling. Holds all my sponges and brushes and dish soap. Hasn’t rusted and I’ve had it for a while now. Looks nice on my sink. Keeps my counters dry and my sponges mold free.

Size is perfect for rag, scrubber sponges soap. It's very sturdy love that the block on bottom dryies up all the liquid it's absolutely amazing. It's very convenient, love the way you can organize everything. I'm the kind of person I have to have everything organized that's the way I grew up. I have not seen any signs of rust no where. Highly recommend. It is very very nice.
