This Hatsukokoro honesuki is a special custom ordered knife from Yoshikane Hamono. Yoshikane is known for its experience with SKD11 steel, a semi-stainless steel that can be treated to the hardness of 64 HRC, enabling amazing edge retention, while still maintaining easy-to-sharpen quality due to comparatively lower chromium content. Yoshikane's forging and grinding are top-notch as always, and the SKD11 steel enables superb thinness behind-the-edge, giving the knife excellent cutting performance. The blade has an aesthetically pleasing Nashiji finish on the jigane, which transits to a refined Kasumi finish on the grind before exposing the cutting edge. A beautiful knife with superior sharpness retention, superb cutting smoothness while maintaining sharpness ease and pleasure.

    About Yoshikane Hamono 吉金刃物

    With 4th generation artisan Kazuomi Yamamoto on the throne, Yoshikina Hamono is a Japanese knife making company in Sanjo City, Niigata with over 100 years history. Founded in 1919 by Shimotajima. Yoshikane Hamono has been making knives by hand for generations in this tiny Japanese town well known for its metalware. To date, they have kept going in the traditional way with such focus and dedication that can only be found in this part of the world.

    Care:

    SKD11 Steelis a semi-stainless steel. With general use, the knife is unlikely to develop patina or rust. However, as the chromium content of SKD11 is comparatively lower than stainless steels, patina or rust may develop under certain conditions such as prolonged exposure to water. The cladding of the knife is fully stainless therefore if patina or rust is to develop at all, it will be localized on the exposed core steel near the cutting edge. 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 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.

    I really love this moisturizer, I started using a retinal and since i usually dont ease into it, my face does get dry and flaky. I was using a different one and it would work for a little while then i would feel dry a while after. Thayers actually feels like it kept my face moisturized even the next morning. It took a couple days to feel it best because my face was already dry from the retinal, but after once my skin soaked it all in it felt great. Its thin, soft and light, not heavy. No scent other than the normal unscented lotion smell. I use it day and night. 14 dollars was questionable, but its so worth it.

    I will never stop using this product!
    I can't say enough about this product. I have been using it for years. I do not like heavy creams or the feeling of it on my skin. This is perfect for me. It's lightweight and very hydrating. I use day and night. I technically use it twice, I use it as my moisturizer then after my sunscreen I will mix a small amount of it into my foundation....to thin it out a bit. It leaves my skin glowing. I LOVE Thayers products. FYI: I have mature, sensitive, dry skin.

    After the second day I bought another bottle. Just checked out as a matter of fact. Usually, even with my 3 separate moisturizing steps at night, my skin will have lost hydration the next morning. Even with a final layer of byoma oil it would feel like it pretty much evaporated out of my skin overnight. Idk what magic is in this stuff but I woke up today and it felt like I had JUST finished my nighttime skin care. Excellent under makeup..hell makes makeup look better. Worth every single penny. Note: It is my experience that this tingles my skin a little bit. It's mild but it's there. The ingredients don't seem to contain anything that my skin would be sensitive to so it may just be in conjunction with another product in my routine. It's not unpleasant, just unexpected.

    Amazing!
    This sponge is amazing for applying the JI Pressed powder! I had been using a cheap sponge before but then decided to try this and it applies soooo much better. I think it’s because this sponge doesn’t absorb the makeup into it but instead releases it onto your skin for better coverage. It’s also incredibly silky smooth and allows you to smooth out and blend the makeup well. I don’t like using brushes so this is the perfect alternative!
