About Takeshi Saji 佐治 武士

Now in his 70s, with over 30 years of experience in making handcrafted knives, Master Saji makes breathtakingly beautiful Damascus knives, which often paired with unique custom handles such as handcrafted iron wood handles. Having become a legend in hunting knife making, Master Saji has a unique eye for fine finish, and he's also innovating constantly by bringing new looks to knives.

Care:

Aogami Super (Blue Super) steel is considered the most superior Japanese high carbon steel for knife making. It is not stainless, therefore you must wipe your knife dry after each use, in particular the core steel not covered by the stainless cladding. Patina will develop over time, which will appear as “discoloration” on the cutting edge, but that is the nature of carbon steel - not a defect. The stainless cladding covers a large part of the blade, making maintenance easier but still preserving the cutting and sharpening pleasure of the Aogami Super core. 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.

Why didn't I find this years ago?
With my excema, I fought for over a decade to find a product that will help. This lotion is amazing. I put it on after showering. It goes on easy, it soaks in well and for a gal who is almost 60 my skin now looks nourished, healthy and like I'm in my 30s and soft. Using this with the balm, my excema patches are almost completely gone. Love this!

Ok to use to prevent flare up
This cream works ok if the skin does not have a flare up. If your kids skin is irritated, I wouldn’t recommend to use. My kid would get very itchy and wouldn’t want to use if her skin had an eczema flare up. More to prevent rather than help reduce flare up

Glad I tried this lotion
Lotion is really nice and has a very light fragrance which I appreciate. It is gentle on sensitive skin (no issues so far after using about a week).

Smells great and moisturizes well!
This papaya body butter from Yniquet smells great. It is not greasy and leaves your skin moisturized and looking and feeling great. The scent is just enough to be pleasant and not overpowering. It also has actual papaya extract in the lotion, not just scented oils. I would definitely recommend this body lotion!
