Q&A

We post answers to questions and frequently asked questions from our customers.

Q.1
What is amenoma?
A.1
The origin of the word is Tenmoku Ichika-no-kami, the god of iron making and blacksmithing that is associated with the Harima region and appears in the Nihon Shoki.
The logo is based on the ``right three tomoe'' family crest of the Bessho family, which built Meichika and Miki Castle, and a whirlpool of thought and technology, and the brand image color is ``indigo iron color'', which is derived from iron.
Q.2
What kind of business is it?

Business will begin on March 31, 2021.
Based on the knowledge and connections with craftsmen that we have cultivated in the Miki hardware industry for over 20 years, we will disseminate hardware made by blacksmiths and handmade items made by craftsmen from around the country to the whole country and the world from the perspective of makers and buyers. .
We will also develop original products that meet customer needs.
Q.3
What is an original product?

Q.5
Can it be used for left-handed people?
A.5
Most single-edged knives such as kitchen knives and short knives can be used for left-handed use, so please contact us for details.
It will be more than 1.5 times more expensive than usual.
One of the reasons is that the equipment (line) is usually set up for right-handed players, and the production process takes time because the equipment has to be reassembled for left-handed players, and the craftsmen's preferences change.
Q.6
What about repairs?
A.6
If your beloved tool breaks, it may be possible to repair it if it is manufactured in this region.
Once please contact us. *Even if it is determined that it is possible based on images, etc., when checking the actual product, it may be determined that it is impossible due to the manufacturing perspective of the craftsman.
Q.7
What about resharpening?
A.7
The blacksmith who makes knives and scissors will resharpen them.
There are some products that are not available. It is often thought that it is more expensive than sharpening held at supermarkets.
The reason is that the blade attachment method requires a permanent blade, which takes time. We do not only sharpen, but also adjust distortion, so you won't be able to tell the difference.
There are many craftsmen (cooks, carpenters, landscaping) who usually resharpen their knives themselves and request them for full maintenance.
The resharpening procedure will take 2 to 3 weeks after receiving the product. (Because it is done in between regular work) I mainly sharpen and correct distortion.
Depending on the condition, it may cost more than the normal repair cost. The return shipping fee will be borne by the customer.
Since shipping costs will be incurred, we recommend collecting them in your neighborhood and sending them in several pieces.
Please check the " Maintenance Corner " for details.

What is the process from ordering a product to shipping?
