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.

Glass skin in a bottle
I read a review here saying this product was glass skin in a bottle before purchasing myself, and to be fair, I didn’t get it because of that particular effect, but the way my skin has changed since I started using it is just amazing. I’ve been using this for several months now along with the toner and moisturizer from the same line. This is hydrating, leaves a beautiful glow on the skin, wears great under makeup, and I’ve noticed more and more people commenting on how nice and healthy my skin looks since I started using it. I am currently going through a hormonal acne flare up, and this helps my skin feel calm and does not break me out at all.

Hydrating and NOT Sticky!!
As someone who has VERY dry and sensitive skin, I love this product. It gives me an extra layer of protection during the cold and windy days, so I don’t have to worry about my skin burning or peeling the next day. It’s pretty lightweight, and really only feels like you are putting on water almost. It gives your skin a subtle glow too which is nice, and has no scent (which is perfect for sensitivity). It works super well and makes your skin looks plump. The only reason I’m docking a star is because a few times I’ve used this I have had issues with my makeup (especially around my eyes) separating or peeling off. I’m not sure if this is happening because of the reaction with this product and my sunscreen or what, so take that with what you will!

Great Skin Product
I’m absolutely impressed with the ANUA Rice Ceramide 7 Hydrating Barrier Serum! This fragrance-free Korean skincare serum combines the power of rice, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide to brighten, hydrate, and strengthen my skin barrier. After using it regularly, my complexion looks noticeably more radiant and plump — that coveted glass skin glow is definitely real! The serum is lightweight and non-comedogenic, making it perfect for daily use without clogging pores or causing irritation. It complements my routine perfectly after cleansing with the Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil and using the 3-in-1 Jade Roller and Gua Sha Facial Kit to boost absorption and circulation. Together, these products have transformed my skin, reducing wrinkles, controlling pores, and keeping my skin hydrated and fresh. If you want a gentle yet effective serum that brightens and deeply hydrates while supporting your skin’s natural barrier, this is a must-have!

Great for dry skin
Looovvveee this stuff. At first it feels a little sticky but once your skin absorbs it, it feels so hydrated. I was worried about using this because i have dry and sensitive skin but if anything it made my skin calm down. I haven’t broken out and i’ve been using it for a while, makes my skin so glowy too.
