Camp No Hamono

Japan-based Neru Design Works takes its camping tools seriously. The ideas of slow living and handmade craftsmanship are at the heart of everything the brand does, resulting in serious blades and timeless cookware. With forgeries at the epicenter of Japan’s most historically significant craft regions, the craftsmen Neru works with have years of experience themselves, but also represent the work of centuries past, retaining the precision and attention to detail that those who came before them built their name on. Not only is each tool purpose-built and made to stand up to the test of time, each is a work of art that will age beautifully if you take care of it the way it takes care of you.

- Blade: Steel - Handle: Stabilized Wood

- The blade is forged in Echizen, known as Japan’s “knife city,” where knives, katanas and farmer’s sickles have been made for generations - The elegant blade looks rugged and refined - The handle is sized to be at home in the hand of any home chef - The Camp No Hamono is versatility at its best—cut a steak or chop vegetables, at home or at the campsite - Made in Japan

**A chef’s knife forged using a 700-year-old Japanese tradition** When it comes to a blade, Neru Design Works knows where to find the very best ironworkers for the job. They tapped Masutani Hamono, an Echizen-based knifemaker—who’s been forging knives the traditional Japanese way for over 30 years— to help create theCamp No Hamono kitchen knife. Crafted with a steel blade, the knife is ideal for your camp kitchen, though it is also perfectly suited for the comfort of your home countertop. The blade is finished with a handsome stabilized wood handle and comes with a nylon sheath that makes it easy to pack for any of your outdoor adventures.
