    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.

    My Dog Loves Them
    I have a smallish dog and for some reason he loves these squeaky lobsters. It takes him about 1 year to destroy one. They are a good buy.

    Great Customer service
    Color: Blue Bone
    After reading my review that my toy contained no squeaker, I was contacted by the seller. They are sending me a new toy. I appreciate their support. The toy I received is well made it is just missing the squeaking that my dog loves.

    Important!: Note the Size. These are TINY Toys.
    The most important thing is to double (or triple!) check the size before ordering. I got the lobster, and though it looks small in the photos, it's much tinier in person. The image with the measurements lists in centimeters first, so it's super easy to give it a glance, assume it's in inches, and move on. Despite knowing the size, when I took it out of the package I assumed I was sent the wrong product, as it looks like one of those mini stuffies people hang on their car rearview mirror. Aside from sizing, what you see is what you get and it looks like the photos as far as coloring, material, etc.

    12 year old lab loves these
    Color: Pink Pig
    I have a 12 year old lab that things she’s still a puppy. She’s always been a chewer and these have held up surprisingly well. They’re the perfect size for my big lab and so far they’re all in one piece.
