Manaka Hamono Fire Recovery Donation Drive, July 15-28

Manaka Hamono Fire Recovery Donation Drive, July 15-28

Let's raise funds for Manaka Hamono to rebuild their workshop! July 15-28, 100% of sharpening proceeds will be donated directly to help rebuild their knife making workshop.

Tragically, around July 4th at midnight, a fire broke out and destroyed Manaka-san's workshop, warehouse, and part of his family home. Fortunately, all family members escaped without injury, but they are devastated by the loss. Insurance won't cover the expenses to clear the site and rebuild, so we want to help any way we can!

Bring your knives to your local Knifewear for sharpening, or donate directly with this link:
