The extraordinary quality of the artisan hand-forged Damascus finish on this "Anmon" Kiritsuke Gyuto 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.

      2 smell good, 2 not so good and it's made in China
      These are interesting soaps. The inverted loofah sponge for the soap is in interesting idea. The black and green ones smell the best. They are made in China however so I'm going with a USA made one next. Dapper Yankee.

      Great Charcoal Soap – I Really Like It!
      Scent: Ocean, Scent: Ocean
      I’m honestly surprised how much I like this charcoal soap. The packaging was clean and professional, and all four bars came in perfect condition. Each bar is a good size, and it feels like it will last a long time. The scent is fresh and not overpowering, and the soap gives a nice deep-clean feeling without drying out my skin. I like that it has ingredients like peppermint, sea salt, and shea butter — it actually feels refreshing after a shower. The mesh bag they include is also really useful for getting more lather and keeping the soap from melting too fast. Overall, this is a solid charcoal soap set. Good quality, good fragrance, and worth the price. I’m happy with it and will definitely keep using it!

      Good soap with a few details
      Scent: Lemon, Scent: Lemon
      I've been using this soap for several weeks now, and it's worked well for cleaning without drying out my skin. The foam is abundant and has a natural aroma, not strong at all. I like that it includes ingredients like turmeric and shea butter because my skin feels softer. The only thing I noticed is that from the pigment, it can leave a slight yellow mark on sponges or cloths if they are not rinsed thoroughly, and the size of the stick is smaller than it looks in the photo. Overall, it is a good natural choice for those looking for a different and gentle soap for daily use.

      Long lasting but don’t take anything off the skin it’s great for moisturizing but not for washing anything away like deodorant it can’t handle the task, smells great during wash but not long lasting after.
