    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.

    Great sheer mineral sunscreen!
    Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
    I’ve never been a mineral sunscreen fan but I really love this one. I needed a mineral sunscreen for days where I knew I was going to be sweating or swimming because the chemical stuff would run into my eyes and burn so bad. This one doesn’t burn my eyes at all. It doesn’t leave a white cast but it is a little oily and leaves me quite shiny for about 10-15 mins until it fully dries. I don’t really mind because it works well. I would definitely recommend 👌

    It's okay. Better for dry skin.
    Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
    It's a nice product but still too greasy for my poor skin. It's pretty moisturizing. It isnt thick, but my skin gets greasy quickly with it. (I prefer Australian Gold tinted (the big tube meant for the body, not face).

    Just like the other but better!
    Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
    I love the regular mineral face sunscreen so wanted to try the new liquid face sunscreen! It seems to be the same formula but way easier to apply. Applies more like a moisturizer and easy to run in! It still has the same protection and reliability!! Sunbum will always be a favorite!
