HATAMOTO-KNIFE

The company was founded in 1976 in the city of Tokyo, which has long been famous for its knife and highly spiritual traditions. Company President Shintaro Miyamoto, who is a distant descendant of the famous Enomoto Takeaki, the most famous Hatamoto of the Edo era in feudal Japan, because "hatamoto" in Japanese means "walking under the flag." It is more convenient for you and me to perceive it as a "standard-bearer under the shogun." In other words, this is a samurai, subordinate only to the shogun and bearing personal responsibility for the honor of the banner of his master. And, indeed, today, perhaps, only in Japan one can still find such an honest attitude towards the buyer, when the name of the company and its reputation determine not only interpersonal relationships, but also business cooperation. You don't have to look far for an example - all Japanese manufacturers give a lifetime warranty against factory defects.
