Extremely rare piece of art handcrafted by “Damascus Artist” Shoichi Hashimoto (橋本 庄市) using Aogami #2 and Shirogami #2 carbon steel core, clad with soft iron. Hashimoto’s creativity can be seen from how he created the usual Damascus pattern by mixing two types of steels, and his attention to detail is showcased in the matching pattern on the blade and the D-shaped handle made of stabilized wood. Decorated with marble buffalo horn, three silver ginmakis and two mosaic pins, the knife is a true piece of art that the “Damascus Artist” spent months to create.

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.

Cooling and comfortable pillow cover
Color: White, Size: Queen
This is a very nice pillow cover. It’s very well made, has a zipper and the fabric is what I consider as plush. It’s very pretty but I use it under the pillow case. The best feature to me is that it keeps my head cool. I sleep on a latex pillow and they are usually too warm for me.

Pillow case
Color: White, Size: Body
Here is another example of a review about a pillow case that matches your description: I ordered this pillowcase because I needed a pillow case on my special body pillow-that was long, cozy, and soft. I was not disappointed. These pillow case are made from 100% organic bamboo viscose, which is hypoallergenic, breathable, and silky smooth. They have a special shape that fits my extra-long pillow perfectly, and it doesn’t slip off or bunch up. This is also very easy to care for, as it is machine washable and wrinkle resistant. I like chose the white one because it looks elegant and fresh. This pillowcase definitely worth the price, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a high-quality pillow case that is long, cozy, and soft.

Wonderful pillow and products!
Color: White, Size: Body
I've been using the Snuggle-Pedic pillow for a couple of weeks now, and it is fantastic. It's soft, but the foam is firm and full. It is clearly extremely well made. Everything from Snuggle-Pedic appears to be top quality, right down to the extra little instructional inserts they include with their products. I also purchased the Zipper Removable Cover to make laundering easier. It's just as well made as the pillow. In fact, it's exactly the same as the cover on the pillow except removable due to the zipper. I'm also using the Snuggle-Pedic Organic Cotton Pillow Case, and it too is extremely well made, soft and comfortable. I was a little hesitant about the pillow case when I saw the picture because it almost looked ... too soft for me, sort of like a fleece blanket. Maybe that was just the way I saw the picture, but it's not actually like fleece. It's very soft and comfortable and does stretch a little as opposed to a regular pillow case, as they say in the description, but in a good way and appears very durable. I was concerned that it would stretch out and twist around the pillow, but it doesn't do that at all. It has stayed perfectly fitted to the pillow. From what I've experienced, everything in the descriptions of the Snuggle-Pedic products is true, and all three pieces work perfectly for me. This is the most I've spent on an individual pillow, but I couldn't be more pleased, and I'm planning to replace all my pillows.
