    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.

    Pleasantly surprised!
    Color: Black, Size: 2 Pack, Color: Black, Size: 2 Pack
    I am pleasantly surprised with these little racks! They were easy to assemble and install. I used the sticky tape which seems quite secure. I put them all the way to the back of my cabinet and they pull out far enough to see what I have! They are attractive enough and the organization they afford is paramount!

    Nice sliding spice organizer - easy to install
    Color: Clear, Size: 2 Pack
    This is a nice, solid sliding spice organizer. It's not difficult to assemble - just use a rubber or plastic mallet (small) to tap the rods into the molded shelf pieces. You'll also need to attach the bottom bracket to the surface of the shelf to prevent it from tipping when you slide the shelves out. Nicely organizes our spice cupboard!
