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.

Heavy duty!
Style: Lavender Vanilla Bliss
Super strong and thick bags! I was worried about leaks or punctures with heavy garbage, but these have handled everything perfectly. The drawstrings are also very sturdy and don't rip out when lifting the bag. The pleasant scent is an added bonus!

Good trash bags but would like this sent in 30 gallons at not a huge price
Style: Citrus Spritz
Even though I thought I bought 30 gallon not 13 gallon I still like the product . We used a couple of rhe bags . It worked out some9ne else needed this size so we just sold it to another and I have to reorder NY size downfall I guess they don't make 30 gallon in this scent that part I'm sad about its the one scent that doesn't bother my senses like the others do.
