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:

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.

Quality valet tray, darker brown
Color: Brown, Color: Brown
Sizing is as described and it is sturdy and well-made, but color is not quite as shown in the product images, more of a darker brown.

Very well-made, nice valet, solid wood with a silicone surface
I really do love this white BROWN wooden valet Tray. It has taken it place right next to my bed on my nightstand. Currently it contains a flashlight, my watch charger, earbuds, remote control, and a walkie-talkie. They all fit perfectly, it really keeps my stand, neat and clean looking. I like these trays because they look so much better than things just laying randomly across your nightstand. It saves things from rolling off to the back of the nightstand against the wall, where I have to flex like an acrobat to reach them. These are perfect for any works surface as well. These would be welcome in the shop. I'm sure they would be great for a teacher, a kitchen a professional at their desk. Just about anywhere you need to put small items and store them temporarily. One of the best things about it is that the bottom or at least the inside surface where you place items is not wooden. It appears to be some type of a silicone so you don't hear that wood sound when you drop things into it. It's soft and things don't roll or slide. It holds them in place exactly where you put them. The bottom came with four felt pads that you can stick on the bottom before you put it on your nightstand or wherever you're putting it. Keeps it from scratching any wooden surfaces. It has a nice rounded edges are very clean dark wood look and a great silicone mat on the inside, this is perfect for your nightstand. I really do enjoy it. Comedy no assembly required. It's well-made and it's a sturdy piece of wood. I highly recommend it.

Holds hubs personal items nicely.
This is a decent sized wooden tray for the price. The manufacturer took care to package this nicely so it was not damaged in transit. All the material used on this tray seem to be pretty decent. The color is very versitile. The wood feels durable and not a soft wood that would easily scratch or dent. The faux leather lining is very nice and makes it quiet when hubs puts his keys down. This tray comes with 4 feet which one must apply by simply peeling the release paper and sticking to the bottom of the tray. This is nice so the tray does not scratch the night stand. Honestly, this tray is very versitile as this can definately be used on an end table in the office or in the bathroom to corral items on the counter top. This is a decent product at a very fair price.
