HAMONO Japanese Kitchen Knives
5. Kitchen Knife Market in Vietnam
Currently, the market is flooded with cheap, low-quality kitchen knives of unknown origin. These products often have the following drawbacks:
-
Stainless steel knives dull quickly and cannot be resharpened effectively.
-
Carbon steel knives are easy to sharpen but rust and discolor easily.
-
Poor user experience due to suboptimal design.
HAMONO was founded to offer high-quality, distinctive Japanese kitchen knives at reasonable prices — meeting the needs of both cooking enthusiasts and professional chefs.
