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.

Wonderful size and holds the essentials.
Color: A-silver
I have no room for something bigger because I have a drop in sink. This is working wonderful. There is room for a scrubby, sponge my stove top cleaner and scrapper for stove. The tray below to catch any water is great and very easy to remove and drain. It takes a second to do. Great size as it is not huge but holds what I need.

Good caddy, not a fan of the clear water holder. Should be black like the caddy. And maybe another taller area for the sponge

Recommend this it’s awesome !!!
It’s awesome and it works great. The old one I had from Walmart kept getting clogged. It wouldn’t work right this one has yet to get clogged. It holds two of my sponges that I was hoping it would hold a lot easier to maintain and clean, and the pocket was able to hold both of my scrub daddies.
