    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.

      Fits 2017 and 2018 Honda CRV 1.5l
      Easy and perfect fit for 2017 and 2018 Honda CRV with 1.5l engines. You need a Phillips screwdriver to remove the 4 screws holding the airbox. After that you just remove the old one and put the new one in the same orientation and put the screws back on. Helps the engine breathe which can result in slightly more power and mpg. I recommend changing every few years.

      Looks identical to the OEM
      Changed this filter in a matter of 3 -4 minutes. The fit and feel seems identical to the Honda OEM filter---feels just as heavy and fit exactly. For $10 it's a bargain. I drove about 20 miles after installing, also with no problems. 4 stars because I want to give a long term report... I will report a few months from now to advise how it held up under North East conditions.
