    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.

      Dogs love them!
      Color: 3 Colors
      Dogs love them! Larger than your average tennis balls, satisfying for my dogs to chew on, the squeak isn't too annoying, colorful enough I can find them in the bushes.

      Great product at a great price
      Color: 3 Colors
      I bought these for my heeler/border collie mix. She destroys every toy almost immediately. They are her favorite toys and plays with them daily. They are still in great shape after 4 months. They have a squeaker, but it is not one of the obnoxious loud ones.

      Fun Dog Fetch Balls
      Color: 3 Colors
      Ordered these for my dog for Christmas and he loves them. He has a blast running up and down the hallway with them. Easy to play with, cute and fun. Not very noisy, I actually didn't know they squeaked until I stepped on one. Very quality and sturdy. Good value for the money. Package arrived timely and as described. Would definitely order again.

      Tough ball. Perfect for large chewing breeds.
      Color: 3 Colors
      My German Shepherd Dog is a year and half old, and she loves these. They truly are pretty indestructible. It took her a little bit to figure out how to squeak it bc they are tough, but now it’s easy for her. They bounce well too. They are larger than a normal tennis ball but a good size for a large dog. Luna is 85 lbs. I would purchase they again, but I probably won’t need to for awhile.

      Enjoyable For Our Dogs
      Color: 3 Colors
      Very durable material. They have a little squish too them for easy pick up for our 50 pound dogs. Our dogs love all balls. They have a little weight to them, but not excessive for a medium to large size dog. We have an English Springer Spaniel and a Goldendoodle. Fun for playtime, but you probably won’t want to throw them around the house.
