    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:

      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.

      Great tape for sublimation!
      Number of Items: 4
      Love love this tape. I used amber colored tape in the past and the color would transfer onto what I was making. This sticks well, is wide so it adds extra durability, and does not transfer color! If you’re just starting your sublimation journey, I highly recommend using this tape!

      Great tape for using with a heat press. It doesn’t leave any marks and comes up easy. I use it for taping down sublimation stuff and have had no issues on slate, shirts, metal or anything I’ve made it sticks well and comes off easy.

      Almost perfect
      Number of Items: 4
      Works ok, and no color to bleed onto sublimation surfaces. Not very sticky making for easy removal but sometimes a bit of a challenge to get to lay down.
