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.

Beautiful & Deeply Moving
Not many films have ever moved me to tears, but PERFECT DAYS somehow did. That is not because of any sadness or sentimentality in the film, but because of its almost miraculous way of trespassing into truth: PERFECT DAYS somehow manages to touch the hem of truth in our experience of life. Here we have shifting reflections of humanity's pendulum of thought and emotion, an approximation of truth in light of the existential dilemma of purpose and meaning. However, this dimension of the film is not underscored, but ever gently suggested until the ending's catharsis. It is a philosophical film without any real mention of philosophy, but with an impact that hits the soul. If you're a Wim Wenders fan, PERFECT DAYS is basic viewing. If you know Koji Yakusho—among Japan's most illustrious actors, who gives an astonishing performance here, the kind that's one for the ages—you know this is essential viewing. If you know neither, it's worth introducing yourself to them. I suppose at its simplest, PERFECT DAYS is a demonstration of how an older man, Hirayama, has discovered a life that can be well lived. It may not be my choice of a life or yours, but its possibility implies that we can all find the life that brings us peace and self-fulfillment, even if it's unconventional or not the easiest of lives. There are charming and sometimes humorous elements in the depiction of Hirayama's life, and as we learn about him—a "lesson" that, to me, was continually interesting—we're treated to Tokyo and various secondary characters who are distinctive and seem very real, indeed. And the more the film opens up to include those other characters, the more we learn about Hirayama, every tiny detail almost like a little gem. Those who need lots of physical/plot action in movies may not be able to stick with Wenders' film long enough to see its strengths and feel its overwhelming power. But if you're a gracious enough filmgoer, and patient, you will be well paid for your time and effort by the perfect end of PERFECT DAYS.

What a great find!
These are pretty slick! I’m 72 yo female with that “sort of” yellow tint to my teeth (see what y’all get to look forward to?). I have porcelain crowns from canines on back, so canines to incisors are my natural teeth. Didn’t want to do the Opalescence crap, and decided on these Crest strips as I like their products. Great find! They work like a charm to whiten and got rid of the yellow tint after 3 applications. Easy peasy to use, no bad taste at all, and no sensitivity to my gums. And now my natural teeth match the crowns 😁 Highly recommend them!

A Working Set Of Strips
This is not expensive. It does whiten your teeth. I don't see the 3d effect. You get some strips. 2 Types. This box will last you some time. If you want white teeth then this can help make it happen. This weirdly caused me pain the last few times I used them. Outside of this no issue with them. They come on and off no problem. I kinda recommend this. Just be careful.
