Hand-crafted using R2/SG2 high-speed powder steel, this Santoku 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. The finish of the jigane is truly unique on this knife - while the tsuchime patterns have an almost matt nashiji-like texture, giving this knife a sophisticated accent. As with all Nigara knives, the fit and finish of this knife are second to none. The blade is paired with a western-styled handle made of polished acrylic in Underwater pattern, with mosaic pins as decoration. Only One Available.

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.

Great as long as you don't mind the shelf down all the time.
Color: black
This mounts well and feels very sturdy and overall works quite well. The only complaint I have is that the shelf doesn't stay vertical when it's stowed. It needs some way to keep it from falling down and hitting my head.

Perfect for shorts
Color: black
Easy to install and the perfect drying rack for leggings, shorts and tank tops. I like that you can fold the drying bars back into the wall to lay flat. Just what we needed for our small laundry room.

hopefully your rack comes with hardware!
Color: black
Tried to order this twice and both times it arrived without any hardware or hooks. This is disappointing since the size and design is perfect for my space. Undecided yet if I should try a 3rd time!
