About Nakagawa Hamono 中川打刃物

Satoshi Nakagawa (中川 悟志) is a relatively young knifemaker based in the famous city of Sakai in Japan. 16 years ago, he started learning from legend artisan Kenichi Shiraki (白木 健一), one of the very best blacksmiths in Japan. As master Shiraki retired and closed his workshop in 2020, the torch has been passed down to Satoshi Nakagawa, Shiraki’s only Deshi (disciple). In April 2021, Satoshi Nakagawa-san launched his own workshop Nakagawa Hamono.

Care:

Ginsan (Gin3 or Silver #3) is stainless carbon steel, with 14% added Chromium. Retaining the character of Japanese carbon steel, with a similar hardness of Shirogami #2, Ginsan is stainless. Its edge retention is only slightly inferior to Shirogami #2, but the fact that it combines ease of sharpening, carbon steel character as well being stainless makes it a great choice for those who wish to have a Japanese carbon steel knife that is easy to maintain.

Cutting Surface:

Recommended cutting surface: wood, rubberized boards and high-end composites, and quality plastics such as polyethylene 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.

Great Quality, but Check Cabinet Height Carefully
Item Package Quantity: 2
I am so, so sad these iSpecle Pull Out Spice Racks did not fit in my kitchen cabinets. I thought I had checked, but the most my cabinets can take with the nonadjustable shelves is 9", and these are a little over 9.5" tall at the metal rack side. They may not fit where I intended to use them, but they appear to be good quality and really help with organization. They look nice and slide in and out well, so I fully intend to find another way to use them. Maybe under the bathroom sink where smaller items also like to cluster.

Finally solved my spice cabinet chaos
Item Package Quantity: 2
I didn’t realize how much time I was wasting digging through my spice cabinet until I installed these. My spices used to be stacked behind one another, which meant every time I needed a specific seasoning, I had to move half the cabinet around just to find it. These racks completely solved that problem. What immediately appealed to me was the no-drill installation. I rent my home, so I’m always hesitant to make permanent changes to cabinets. The peel-and-stick setup was surprisingly easy, and I had both racks installed in just a few minutes. Once attached, they felt much more secure than I expected. I was initially skeptical about adhesive mounting, but they’ve stayed firmly in place. The pull-out design is where these really shine. Instead of reaching into a dark cabinet and searching through rows of jars, I can simply slide the rack out and instantly see everything. It’s one of those organizational upgrades that makes everyday cooking noticeably easier. I also appreciate the adjustable height feature. My spice collection includes a mix of different bottle sizes, and I was able to configure the racks to accommodate both smaller and larger containers without any issues. The flexibility makes them much more useful than fixed-size organizers. Another thing I noticed is how much cabinet space they helped free up. By using vertical space more efficiently, my cabinet feels less cluttered and much more organized. I can now find exactly what I need without knocking over other jars or creating a mess. The overall construction feels sturdy, and the sliding action remains smooth even when the racks are fully loaded. This is one of those products that seems basic but ends up making a bigger difference than expected. If your spice cabinet is crowded, disorganized, or constantly frustrating to use, these racks are an easy solution. They’ve made cooking more convenient, improved organization, and helped maximize storage space. For me, that’s an easy five-star product.

Finally, a Spice Rack That Fixes the Real Problem—Access Without the Hassle
Item Package Quantity: 2
I am pleasantly surprised at how handy this spice rack is!! This iSPECLE pull-out spice rack does that others rarely deliver... makes your daily routine just that much easier. The biggest win here is access. No longer having to rummage through a messy cabinet or knock over jars to retrieve whatever you’re looking for. With everything just sliding out and coming up right in front of you. The idea is simple, but it creates a difference. There's your strong point here: the no-drill, peel-and-stick installation. It’s simple and time-saving, which is something. That being said, it still needs to be installed correctly. Use a clean surface, pressure, and time to set. Do that, and it holds well. Overlook that step, and you’ll be blaming the product when it’s all set up for you. The adjustable height is practical, especially if you’re working with a mix of 4oz and 8oz spice jars. It’s not flashy, but it offers a solution to the same annoying problem: trying to cram mismatched containers into a rigid system. What impresses me the most is that it provides some order rather than making things ever murkier. It’s not looking to reinvent your kitchen. It takes a common frustration (buried spices in dark cabinets) and makes it neat and clean for practicality's sake. Bottom line: If your cabinet seems like a black hole of spices, this is an easy, straightforward solution. Not anything fancy, just smart design and it works!

Be Mindful Of The Height
Item Package Quantity: 2
So this spice rack is amazing, if you know what you're getting. I have had a similar one in the past that was just one level. It was great and made organization easy. This being two levels tall means you have to take that into account because it's going to change the shelve layout in your spice cabinet. It wasn't a problem for me and still ended up being a net positive for making the most out of the space, but my friend bought the same ones and ended up sending them back because they wouldn't fit into his smaller cabinet. If you are aware of that going in and know it's going to work for you, they are amazing. They slide smoothly, they hold a ton, and make getting to the items in the back infinitely better. Decent price for such a huge quality of life improvement for my kitchen.
