Buy a knife . Have your name imprinted on the blade.

店員さんがとにかく親切です。質問は考えてから順に聞いて行ったほうが良いです。三徳の和ものが欲しかったんですが品切れで残念でした。待つといったらいつになるかわかりません、と言われたので、ステンレスで鋼を挟んだタイプの三徳を購入。メンテナンス考えるとこちらのが良かったかな、とも思いつつ、やはり和もののかっこよさはピカイチでしたね。私が買ったのは写真 の２点。右のペティナイフも２文字の名入りができますよ。

包丁三本、おろし金、裁ち鋏、どれもいい仕事してくれます。手入れはきちんと。

包丁のお手入れ方法のレクチャーを受ける間に、名前を刻印してもらいました。包丁の名入れ無料です。
