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.

Gorgeous artwork in a beautifully bound book

This was such a wonderful surprise! I cannot believe how beautifully bound this is, and the slipcase feels expensive too! It's a steal at this price point. The images are printed so nicely too, a lot of love went into this.

Halo Fan Must-Have
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
Stunning!! So much information and beautiful artwork. Must have for any Halo fan. This book is MASSIVE! Not so much a game guide, no level maps or multiplayer/campaign stuff. Lots of history about the war, colonies, Covenant, Flood, Banished, etc. Can’t wait to read it

A must buy for anybody who is a fan of Halo
Format: Hardcover
I consider this a must buy for anybody who calls themselves fans of the Halo franchise. The level of detail in this book is out of this world and the quality is top notch. This book has amazing artwork and a plethora of information you could easily spend countless hours diving into. I've been playing Halo for two decades now and I have learned more from this book about the Halo universe than I ever did playing the games.
