About Kaishin 魁心 / Nakamura Hamono Kogei 中村刃物工芸

Nakamura Hamono Kogei is a young company founded in 2015 as a teamworking workshop for emerging traditional Japanese blacksmiths. Teaming up a number of traditional craftsmen and seasoned sharpeners, Nakamura Hamono Kogei has created its original brand “Kaishin” (魁心) to showcase what can be achieved when like-minded blacksmiths work together to perfect their crafts.

Care:

Aogami #2 (Blue #2) steel is a premium Japanese high carbon steel for knife making. Despite some corrosion resistant quality (for a carbon steel), it is not stainless, therefore you should wipe your knife dry after each use. Patina will develop over time. Rust may develop if left in prolonged contact with water or acidic food. Use a rust eraser to clean if rusts develop. Avoid cutting into bones, frozen foods, hard fruit pits.

Cutting Surface:

Recommended cutting surface: wood, rubberized boards and high-end composites, and quality plastics such as polyethene make acceptable cutting surfaces, and will help protect and prolong knife’s edge. AVOID glass, metal, countertops, and other rigid, non-forgiving surfaces.

Sharpening:

We recommend sharpening all quality Japanese knives on whetstones, as we believe they yield the best results for your knives.

Eagerly await volume 2
A Jeff Lemire read is worth its weight in gold.with a unique style to the artwork and the building of an intriguing story its a wonderful graphic novel trip. The main character is returning home to help care for mother who has cancer.Theresa(the main character) comes to find there is more at home than just her mother that needs her.Theresa tries to help out with her mother's business.her mother appears to be one of scam fortune tellers but like any good Jeff Lemire read nothing is what it seems. Fantastic beginning and I've already pre-ordered volume 2.Also if your reading Phantom Road pay attention because you will notice something oddly familiar....

Huron crushes it!
Style: Shampoo & Conditioner Set
I have no idea how other reviews can speak of low lathering and not so manly scent. First, heavy lathering is not a good thing, you want a light lather so as to not remove too much natural oils. And the scent is absolutely phenomenal. A little goes a long way. It is suggested to use a quarter size amount which for me proves to be a bit too much. And the lathering is perfect. The shampoo is amazing and my hair feels as though it was conditioned even though I have not applied the conditioner yet. As for the conditioner, the ingredients are far better than any within a drug store type product. My hair remains soft and fantastically conditioned all day and night. Absolutely outstanding product. Far better than American Crew and other big name brands which immediately went into the trash after my second use of Huron. The scent is totally manly and well done. The menthol is not overwhelming and the citrus comes through very well. Every other brand has a far too powerful tea tree and/or peppermint scent that actually burns my eyes. After my second use I immediately started a subscription at their website usehuron.com. I am looking forward to using their soap bar. I prefer a bar of soap to a body wash. I have finally found my absolute go to shampoo and conditioner. No more purchasing others for comparison. Huron is at a good price point for top tier products. It deserves way more hype when it comes to best products on the market. I am totally sold on Huron.
