    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.

    The perfect casual layer—unbelievably soft!
    Size: Large, Color: Burgundy
    I am seriously impressed with this hoodie. It’s made from a lightweight jersey material that feels just like a broken-in, high-quality t-shirt. It’s perfect for those transitional weather days when a heavy fleece hoodie would be too warm, or for just lounging around the house. The fit is spot on—not too baggy but with enough room to move comfortably. It washes really well without shrinking or losing its shape. For the price, you absolutely cannot beat the value. I'll definitely be buying a few more colors!

    The Perfect Hoodie for Warm Weather Comfort
    Size: XX-Large, Color: Black
    I've been on the lookout for something exactly like this... a hoodie with the look and feel of a sweatshirt, but without all that heavy fleece that can become uncomfortable when temperatures rise. This Amazon Essentials Lightweight Jersey Pullover Hoodie turned out to be just the solution I needed. Right out of the package, I noticed the material felt soft and airy, like a premium-quality T-shirt rather than a traditional hoodie. The lightweight fabric hits just the right balance: thin enough to remain cool and breathable, yet substantial enough to give you that hoodie vibe you're after. This makes it especially great when the weather is too warm for your thicker hoodies but still a bit too breezy for just a tee. The fit is exactly what I was hoping for... comfortable without being baggy, and relaxed enough to allow easy movement. It drapes nicely, so it never looks awkward or ill-fitting. The hood itself is perfectly sized—not overly bulky, but still practical if you need a bit of coverage. No shrinkage when washed and didn't fade. I've found this hoodie to be ideal for casual days around town, lounging, or even traveling. It layers well, making it versatile for spring, early summer evenings, or warmer fall days. If you're looking for something comfortable, lightweight, and stylish enough to pull off the hoodie look in warmer weather, this is absolutely worth picking up.

    My new favorite hoodie!
    Size: XX-Large, Color: Charcoal Heather
    I love this, this is my new go-to hoodie! It's very soft and breathable, it's roomy and comfortable, and it's not too heavy. I've washed it a few times and it's held up well. For the price, you really can't go wrong. I'll probably end up buying a couple more colors.

    Sleeves are too short
    Size: Large, Color: Black
    Good quality about as thick as heavy t shirt. The only issue is the sleeves are a tad short which is a bit disappointing. Not sure I will buy this again. I’m 5-7 175 and ordered a large and it fits well. Just a smidge oversized like I prefer.
