    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:

    Shirogami #1 (white #1) steel is one of the popular types of high carbon steel found in Japanese kitchen knives (Wa Knives). It is not stainless, therefore you must wipe your knife dry after each use, in particular the core steel not covered by the stainless cladding. Patina will develop over time, which will appear as “discoloration” on the cutting edge, but that is the nature of carbon steel - not a defect. The stainless cladding covers a large part of the blade, making maintenance easier but still preserving the cutting and sharpening pleasure of the Shirogami core. 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.

    The best, but also the most expensive
    Size: 160 Count (Pack of 1)
    These are the best dry mouth tabs I’ve found. They actually stick-on and last for hours. I struggle so much with dry mouth when I sleep and these have been the longest lasting. They are pretty expensive, which is why I gave them 4* instead of 5, but I haven’t found any that work better.

    Huge Disappointment & Waste of $17.09
    Size: 160 Count (Pack of 1)
    I have been using "OraCoat XyliMelts Dry Mouth Relief Oral Adhering Discs Slightly Sweet with Xylitol" everynight for years. They work like a charm and I wake up feeling fresh and ready for the day. When I saw "Oracoat® FreshMelts® Fresh Breath Stick-on™ Melts" I was super excited. I was hoping they would be a little more minty and similiar to the XyliMelts, but saddly they are not. The Freshmelts do not have a good taste, something was just off with the flavor (chemical?). They did not help moisten my mouth like XyliMelts do. Adhering well is honestly the is only positive thing. Because the XyliMelts have been such an amazing product, I purchased the 160 count for $17.09 and I am unable to return them. I really expected more from Oracoat. I would NOT recommend this product.
