About Kanetsune Seki 関兼常 / Kitasho 北正

The owner of Kanetsune Seki brand — Kitasho — has been making knives in pre-war Japan, in Seki City (関市) which has over 800 years of blade-making history. After the war, they established the Kitamura Shoten, which led to the current Kitasho company. The Kanetsune (兼常) brand is named after a famous sword-smith who lived in the Muromachi period around 14-15 century. Making different series of knives under brands including Kanemasa (兼正作), Honsho Kanemasa (本匠兼正作), and Minamoto Kanemasa (源兼正), Kitasho Company is on the mission of passing down Seki’s 8 centuries long knife-making techniques and traditions.

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.

Very soft and lightweight
Color: White, Size: X-Large
I bought this when I had shingles and needed something soft but thin as a barrier between my skin and a sweater or sweatshirt. This was perfect. It’s super soft, non irritating, and was lightweight.

I have special needs so, please read my review.
Color: White, Size: X-Large
Edit I decided to wear it inside under my clothes as a liner, it shrank too short so not it is uncomfortable to tuck in after I hand washed and dried on delicate until half dry and hung. I will start for anyone that need a soft first layer try this shirt, it fits nicely and it doesn't pull under my arms, I have larger bust measurements compared to by rib cage. It is soft out of the bag and first wash came out nice ,( hand wash) The shirt is a perfect thickness for me! I loved it so much, EXCEPT for the inner arm seam, I so wish the arms were seamless, it was painful for ME, I have Fibromyalgia and this felt like torture by the end of the day, this was too bad for me because otherwise the shirt is GOLD. Buy the shirt I am going to try to scrub the seam and see if I can soften it up a bit . Maybe this company has a seamless version, I would love to know this.. I cannot comment of durability and washability,
