Hand-crafted using R2/SG2 high-speed powder steel, this Bunka 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, one example being the extremely smooth choil.

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.

Do not buy, I recommend looking for something else
Size: King (Pack of 2), Style: Medium, Configuration: Hometextile
I don't like the quality of those pillows. They don't have any support, super flat, it's like just using the pillow sheet without the pillow. I honestly don't get why this could even be a product. Amazon Basics brand is veryh nice but this one was a very bad one. I usually go with anything but this was worst than cheap airbnb pillows.

Great
Size: King (Pack of 2), Style: Medium, Configuration: Hometextile
The medium density support is exactly as advertised and provides more support and firmness. The pillow is taller because of the density so maybe not great for stomach sleepers but works well for back and side sleeping. I bought this because I tried the same pillow at my sister’s house and woke up without neck pain for the first time in forever. Honestly better than my $100 pillow.

These are firm pillows not medium as described.
Size: King (Pack of 2), Style: Medium, Configuration: Hometextile
These pillows are much too firm to be medium density as described. They are too stuffed full of filling. They barely give when my head is on them, so my neck ends up twisted. And they are ridiculously heavy. The filling is also uneven. I wish there was a zero stars option. Definitely returning them.

Medium Density is flat and underfilled, soft is better. Get medium if you hate life or for in-laws
Size: King (Pack of 2), Style: Medium, Configuration: Hometextile
I thought the medium density version would be a firmer version of the soft version but I was very wrong. The medium version is very flat and has no support. Medium density feels like a cheapo $2 black friday pillow that's only useful as a decoration. I suppose the medium density fill version does have its use, you can get this pillow for a guest bed. Perfect for the in laws/guests you dislike so they don't get too comfortable and overstay their welcome. The soft one is very filled and nice to sleep on. The soft one feels firmer than the medium version, probably due to the fact that its probably filled twice as much as the medium density. Would recommend to get the soft density fill version of this pillow.
