The extraordinary quality of the artisan hand-forged Damascus finish on this "Anmon" Santoku is simply the best we have ever seen, period. The 7th generation owner of Nigara Hamono, an art-enthusiast himself, designed this unique pattern in 2008 after being inspired by Andy Warhol's artwork as well as the Anmon Waterfalls at the World Heritage Shirakami Mountains adjacent to the city of Hirosaki, where Nigara was founded 350 years ago. The fit and finish of this knife are amazing - from the choil to spine, not to mention beautiful grind and smooth tapering. The level of polishing has gone up even further in the last few years, and these "Anmon" knives have to be seen to be truly appreciated. You'll be mesmerized.

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 know-how 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 a keen interest 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 know-how when it comes to advanced finishing. All these set Nigara apart as one of the most special knife makers in Japan.

Care:

Wash and dry with a soft sponge, and safely store after use. 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 polyethylene 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 quality, comfy fit, and perfect for active toddlers
Size: 8 Wide Toddler, Color: White, Size: 8 Wide Toddler, Color: White
These toddler sandals are very well made and feel high-quality right out of the box. The material looks like leather and has a smooth, slightly matte finish. It feels soft to the touch, doesn’t rub the skin, and at the same time seems durable enough for everyday wear. The sole is sturdy with good grip, and overall the materials used feel reliable and easy to clean. The wide toe box gives plenty of room for natural movement, and the fit is true to size. They stay securely on the foot, and the adjustable straps make them very easy to put on and take off, even with a wiggly toddler. They are lightweight and flexible, so they don’t restrict movement and are comfortable for all-day wear. The sole provides a good balance of flexibility and grip, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Overall, a great combination of quality, comfort, and practicality — highly recommend!

Great Sandals for Toddlers
Size: 6 Wide Toddler, Color: Brown
I love this brand of shoes, all the shoes are very flexible and easy to get on my toddler. They've help up well for us and should easily last to the next kid, if not more beyond as well. These shoes are cute and great gender neutral sandals that don't break the bank for the quality. My son loves them too, and he is very ready to make his opinions known.

Cute but runs big and made for high volume feet
Size: 8 Wide Toddler, Color: Brown
Cute shoes, otherwise they would only get 3 stars. Do not recommend using the size chart. I used the size chart and tried to measure carefully, yet the first ones we got were literally several sizes too large for my daughter. I returned them and sized down 2 sizes, and they are workable but still on the big side. Beware. They are also extremely high volume. If my daughter wears them barefoot, there is quite a gap between her foot and the top of the sandal. If she wears socks, especially her thick winter socks, it’s closer to a decent fit. Again, beware. I would buy again…not sure. My daughter is very fond of them, and that says a lot. She’s three and has very strong opinions about things😅
