Description

Hatsukokoro "Kumokage" Aogami #2 Kurouchi Damascus 180mm BunkaThis "Kumokage" (Cloud Shadow) series from Hatsukokoro is hand forged using Aogami #2 steel that has been hardened to a 63 64 HRC.

Care:

Aogami #2 (Blue #2) steel is a premium Japanese high carbon steel for knife making. It is not stainless, therefore you must wipe your knife dry after each use, in particular the core steel not covered by the stainless cladding. Patina will develop over time, which will appear as “discoloration” on the cutting edge, but that is the nature of carbon steel - not a defect. The stainless cladding covers a large part of the blade, making maintenance easier but still preserving the cutting and sharpening pleasure of the Aogami Super core. 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.

So far, indestructible.
Color: Coral Orange
Such a good case! For a 6 year old that isn’t exactly gentle with devices, it’s perfect. The swivel kick stand is pretty versatile, easy to find a comfortable angle to see the screen no matter which weird position your kid sits in. The color is really nice, the orange is soft and very pretty.

Sturdy just wish it could be adjusted to hang shorter
Color: A01-Colorful Pink
Very sturdy. Love the colors, easy for my 4 yr old to handle and use. Wish the length could be adjusted shorter for her though. When wearing, it tends to hang low by her knees.

Very reliable, even after 1 year!
Color: A01-Colorful Pink
I purchased this over a year ago. It has since been dropped, stood on and thrown (all by toddlers) and no visible damage whatsoever! I love the kickstand that also double has a way to hold while moving. It's a bit complicated to initially put together, just because of all the placement of the silicone around the plastic box, but once every bit is in the right place you're golden. I also appreciate the port cover to add an even higher durability rating from me. My toddlers find this very easy to use and I love how versatile it all is. Definitely worth the money to keep the iPads running and protected.

Perfect case for my daughter’s iPad
Color: Purple Pink
bought this case for my daughter. The fit is perfect — all the buttons and camera line up exactly and it snaps on securely. The case feels sturdy, protective, and durable but not too heavy, so she can still carry it comfortably. The stand feature is convenient. The design is also super cute — Luna loves it Overall, great quality for the price. I would definitely buy it again
