    About Kisuke 貴輔 / Manaka Hamono 間中刃物鍛錬所

    Kisuke Manaka is the 5th generation blacksmith at Manaka Hamono, a workshop founded in 1872 in Kasukabe, Saitama Prefecture of Japan. Kisuke Manaka did not inherit the workshop from his own family, instead he was married into the Manaka family, and eventually became a full-time, professional blacksmith. Since his father-in-law (the 4th generation Manaka) was more a retailer, he was not capable of teaching Kisuke Manaka any blacksmithing skills. Luckily, Kisuke Manaka’s grand-father-in-law (the 3rd generation Manaka) had left a lot of tools and equipment, as well as books and notes on blacksmithing, he was able to teach himself during the process, and had master Tsukasa Hinoura as his mentor.

    Care:

    Aogami #2 (Blue #2) steel is a premium Japanese high carbon steel for knife making. Despite some corrosion resistant quality (for a carbon steel), it is not stainless, therefore you should 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.

    Really liking this so far
    Size: 4.05 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
    I’ve been using this about twice a week and usually leave it on for around 2 hours before washing my hair. First thing I noticed was that it’s thick and moisturizing without making my hair feel oily or weighed down. A lot of hair oils I’ve tried in the past left my roots greasy, but this one doesn’t. After I style my hair, it definitely looks shinier and feels fuller with more body. My ends also feel softer and less dry. I only need a small amount each time, so the jar should last a while. The smell surprised me in a good way too. To me it smells kind of like coffee or peanut butter. It has a natural scent and isn’t too strong. I know hair growth products take time and I’m realistic about that, so I’m planning to keep using it consistently for a few months before judging those results. But based on how healthy and manageable my hair already looks, I’m happy with this purchase so far.

    Moisturized without feeling greasy
    Size: 4.05 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
    Been using this Batana Oil for a few weeks and my hair already feels thicker, softer, and healthier. I’ve noticed less shedding and my scalp stays moisturized without feeling greasy. You can tell it’s natural and high quality. Definitely worth trying if you’re dealing with thinning or breakage.

    So Far So Great
    Size: 4.05 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 4.05 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
    Super excited to add this product into my hair care regimen. The batana oil has a mild but pleasant smell. The oil is more of a paste so I don’t have to use much. On days when I layer products, I like to oil my scalp and hair strands and apply the batana oil to my ends as a sealant. I also apply it to my hairline and scalp sometimes. So far it has made my hair feel and look moisturizer, soft and fuller. I’m very excited to see the positive effects that it has long term. I was encouraged to apply the product from the plethora of positive reviews. And the fact that batana oil is proven to be great for hair health.

    Moisturizer type 4 hair
    Size: 4.05 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 4.05 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
    This oil provided my type 4 hair a lot of moisture. The texture of this product is moist. It worked for me when I needed the extra moisture to pull back my hair or to stretch my hair prior to twisting or braiding. I used it about 3 times a week. I’ve had it a months and I still have almost 1/2 a jar left. If you are looking for shine, this one provided shine but only after I brushed it. Overtime it helped my hair be easier to work with. The smell is okay - nothing overbearing that interfered with my own perfume. Look at the picture and you can see that it came sealed very well. Buy it and see for yourself how great it is.
