    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.

    Good, reliable wipers.
    Size: 24", Style: Pack of 1
    I replace my wipers annually, so I don't need to spend a bunch of money on the countless gimmicky wipers that are out there. You used to be able to find Rain-X wipers just about anywhere, but the marketing morons pushing the gimmicky crap have pushed these out of stores. I am please to have found them on Amazon. I am also pleased to find that they are on Subscribe & Save. Most of my vehicles use the same size wipers, so I can buy these throughout the year and replace them when they show up instead of trying to remember when their year is up. I have always liked the performance out of Rain-X wipers. I think they last all year, remaining flexible the whole time and stay silent. That flexibility make them very effective at wiping the windshield. The cost for the wipers was great when they were around $6, but the greedy corporations keep raising prices, so now it much more. I think the value is still there, but the design has not changed. Still good, reliable quality. The size is accurate. The installation is easy. There's instructions if you need them that are easy to follow.

    Yes good choice
    Size: 22", Style: Pack of 2
    Perfect fit and they work great! It's been over a month using these and I would consider purchasing again. The wiper blades on previously looked a little bit more sharp but these outperform them by a long shot.

    Rain Wipes
    Size: 24" and 19", Style: Pack of 2
    Nearly does the trick, where there's a better model option. Wished I had purchase the higher grade model, for this model doesn't wipe as well during moderate and heavy rain. However, for the price I got what I paid for, with my history of this brand, knowing it will have a bit of useable life. It was a fit...Actual replacement. Easy to install. Smooth wipe, for there's no squecking.

    Efficient and affordable
    Size: 26" and 20", Style: Pack of 2
    These were a perfect fit for a 2023 Toyota Sienna. They clean the windshield with no streaks, exactly as they should and I don’t notice any additional noise. Installation took about 3 minutes, and was a little tricky but not impossible.
