    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.

    Quality could be better
    Really cool product but quality is not the greatest. I have tried three times and my GSD destroys them within a hour. Feel the stitches are too light and easy to rip

    Dogs love this toy!
    I've purchased a couple of these and the dogs love them. Good for puppy teeth and adult chewers. Can be torn up but last for dogs that like to chew.

    Beware not as described!
    I have ordered these multiple times in the past because our pup loves them. However, what I received this time is much smaller than before and does not match the dimensions on the site (6 in versus the expected 9). Very disappointed since I ordered two and these are not cheap toys.

    My Bulldog’s Very Favorite
    These are the best toys! My bulldogs love all the different shapes and sizes and I buy multiple per year. I feel comfortable with the safety of this material, even though they start wearing it down very quickly.
