Hand-crafted using R2/SG2 high-speed powder steel, this Bunka is beautifully grinded with superb thinness behind-the-edge supported by the 62-63 HRC hardness. Being a guru of steel manipulation and expert on steel construction, Nigara Hamono created a unique Tsuchime pattern that is reminiscent of industrial steel beam, while the Kurouchi finish gives this knife a characterful accent. The fit and finish is superb for a Kurouchi knife, with a smoothly polished choil and refined Kasumi on the grind.

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:

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 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.

Comfy and supportive
Love it! Very snug and supportive. I am 5‘6“ 188 pounds. I am wearing a 34H and it fits perfect. Will definitely be adding more colors to my collection. Hopefully they add the HSIA Delia collection that are similar to these, but have printed options.

Very Good strong material
I love the bra but story time, I initially got a 38DDDwhich is or was my size however I wore the 38DDD all day at work (RN) and the bra did hurt my sides like the sides were possibly too tight and digging into my ribs BUT the support was amazing and the minimizing was PERFECT I looked almost 2 cups sizes smaller in my opinion but I figured something was off so I ordered a 40DDD got those and the side digging wasn’t there but I lost a little bit of support maybe or I could have just done the straps wrong because it was a quick try on but overall I love the slimming effect and the material is soft and I truly appreciate this bra. The material is STRONG not cheaply made very beautiful over all. This is a good quality bra once I figure out the correct size . I ordered another 38G to see if I noticed a difference and a 40G to see if my cup size is wrong all together (which is what I think it is more so than the band size) I tried another brand and the 38 band was find the cup was too small in 3 different brands. Guess I’ve gained some weight but overall even with the pain for the side digging I could tell this was a GREAT bra. Just measure yourself correctly lol
