    About Nigara Hamono 二唐刃物

      With 350 years of history, starting from making swords for Tsugaru clan in the early Edo period, Nigara Hamono has passed down knowhow and skills for eight generations. Its 5th generation blacksmith Kunitoshi Nigara was a legendary sword maker, earning a long list of accolades, honorary titles and knighthood. The current (8th) generation blacksmith — Tsuyoshi Yoshizawa is supported by his father Toshiju Yoshizawa who has keen interests in art and music. Nigara’s famous Anmon design is the result of Toshiju’s love for Andy Warhol’s artworks. The family business’ expansion into construction steelworks has given Nigara unmatched access to in-house knowhow when it comes to advanced finishing. All these set Nigara apart as one of the most special knife makers in Japan.

      Care:

      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.

      Great sunscreen with clean ingredients
      Set name: Adult Tube - 3.4oz.
      Really impressed with this sunscreen. It goes on smoothly, feels lightweight, and doesn’t leave a strong white cast like many mineral sunscreens. I like the natural ingredients and it kept my skin protected outdoors. Great quality and worth trying!

      Life changing sunscreen
      Set name: Adult Tube - 3.4oz.
      When revamping all my skincare, AI recommended this for me as someone with rosacea and inflammation. I also can't stand to feel sticky from skin products. Not only does this not get sticky or greasy, my face looks visibly less red almost immediately after putting this on. I absolutely love it. I wear it every single day now on my face specifically. I'm also very prone to breakouts from products and this has been the best sunblock that doesn't make me breakout after wearing it while sweating.

      Saved my hands
      Size: 8.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
      After years of dealing with cracked, bleeding, dry skin from my eczema flare ups -- I was finally fed up. I'd tried everything in the book, but ultimately I resigned myself to never being able to have hands that weren't itchy, bleeding and cracking. I'm not exaggerating when I say this product (along with Aveeno's Daily Eczema Hand Lotion) saved my hands. I can't believe that my hands are no longer cracked, bleeding & itchy. They're soft, even! This hand wash has been a game changer & worth every penny.

      Great for eczema
      Size: 8.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
      Love this stuff. The only soap kiddo can use that doesnt dry out her eczema. Highly recommend. Smells nice, foams up, keeps her hands moisturized.
