    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 wind spinners, you can't go wrong
    Size: 8 Inch
    5 stars is not enough for these. OMG I found my new supplier for the wind spinners. I have gone through four other suppliers and they did not turn out well, for various reasons. But these I love for a couple of reasons. First I love that they have the paper on them for removing the plastic, holy cow was that easy! Second I love how they turn out for the ones I already made. They sublimate beautifully and the colors really pop. Thanks so much, and I'm going to order more right now! I hope you don't change them. I do recommend these folks, they are awesome.

    High quality
    Size: 8 Inch
    got these to make some spinners for our football team and found them to be terrific. The image transfer was true to color and the size was perfect. We are going to make a few as gifts for our friends and thought the pressing of the tines out to create the spinner was quite simple. Will definitely be ordering more.
