About Kaishin 魁心 / Nakamura Hamono Kogei 中村刃物工芸

Nakamura Hamono Kogei is a young company founded in 2015 as a teamworking workshop for emerging traditional Japanese blacksmiths. Teaming up a number of traditional craftsmen and seasoned sharpeners, Nakamura Hamono Kogei has created its original brand “Kaishin” (魁心) to showcase what can be achieved when like-minded blacksmiths work together to perfect their crafts.

Care:

Shirogami #2 (white #2) steel is one of the most popular types of high carbon steel found in Japanese kitchen knives (Wa Knives). It is not stainless, therefore you must wipe your knife dry after each use. Patina will develop over time. Rust may develop if left in prolonged contact with water or acidic food. Use a rust eraser to clean if rusts develop. 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.

Awesome eyebrow pen
Color: Medium Brown
** Another update** I am back a third time to again proclaim my LOVE for this product. I will cry the day Ardell discontinues this brown pen! So I am stocking up, with 3 backups available at all times lol. This will literally give you the fluffy brows of your dreams. You can rub with your finger and it will not smudge. I am a brow SNOB and this stuff is perfection! Original review: This pen is great! I have used it twice so far and the hair strokes look very natural. The product really stays in place. I slept in my makeup last night (I know, not good lol), and my brows still look great today with no touch ups. I highly recommend! *** Update 2 months later *** After using this for 2 months, I did repurchase another pen. As with any liquid product, this will start to dry out after 1-2 months of daily use but that is to be expected in my opinion. Repurchasing this once every 2 months at the price is not a negative in my opinion. I did not have any trouble with the tip drying out while applying until 2 weeks ago which is your sign that it's time to purchase a fresh pen. I will continue to purchase this product for as long as they make it.

Best Eyebrow Product EVER
Color: Medium Brown
This is the BEST felt-tip eyebrow pen. I’ve used SO many and have been disappointed by them all. (Glossier Brow Flick is too finicky and can be too Sharpie-looking if you’re not careful, and it has a tendency to leak if you store it upside-down; the drugstore ones from NYX and Loreal don’t make lines that are thin enough; the multi-pronged ones from K-beauty places aren’t pigmented enough; the dual-ended pencil and ink stain from Urban Decay wears off too quickly... I could go on). But THIS one? This one is so easy to use, and the results look so natural, like actual hairs. And it’s so easy to get really thin, precise strokes. AND it lasts all day! Seriously, I hope they never discontinue this. My absolute favorite.

Great Yard Helper!
So easy to use and affordable! This edger is a great time saver, easy to operate, and relatively easy to adjust although you may need a pliers or screwdriver to help with the adjustment levels, but its not difficult. I would have given this 5 stars but just one thing that is a sticking point for me is I wish this had its own stand or hanger because of its odd shape, it doesn't necessarily balance upright too well. It’s long and the guide wheel in the front sticks out. So, it is always awkward to get it tidy in the garage when not in use. Now maybe this is what it's like for landscapers…I’m not a professional. Just a homeowner doing my own upkeep. With what this costs, I’ll figure it out, and is worth the money.
