Hand-crafted using Aogami Super carbon steel core, clad in stainless steel, this Santoku 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 S-shaped Tsuchime pattern. 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. Paired with a rare handle made of white stag horn with a Kuchiwa made of wood and a Turquoise Tsukajiri.

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:

Aogami Super (Blue Super) steel is considered the most superior 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 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.

Perfect Fit & Performance for 2022 Explorer ✅
Size: CA10242&CF12772, Size: CA10242&CF12772
I recently installed this filter set on my 2022 Ford Explorer (2.3L), and I’m very impressed with the results. Both the engine and cabin filters were a perfect fit with no installation issues. Performance & Quality: Solid Build: These feel much sturdier and higher quality than the filters I removed. I bought my vehicle used, and it seems the previous owners used whatever generic parts they could find. These are a noticeable step up. Fuel Efficiency: Since the swap, my MPG has remained rock steady at 26.1 MPG while running 89 octane fuel. It’s good to know the engine is breathing efficiently. Cabin Comfort: The cabin air is noticeably fresh, and the airflow is excellent—no whistling or restricted feel through the vents. Value: Getting both filters in one set is a great deal compared to buying them individually at a local auto parts store or the dealership. I’ll definitely be looking at these again in the next 6 to 12 months for my next maintenance cycle. Bottom Line: If you’re looking for a reliable, cost-effective alternative to dealership prices that doesn't compromise on performance, this is a great choice. See Old vs New Photo

Great value and quality
Size: CF11182&CA12050
Perfect fit for turbo Civic- appears well made. I had an issue with another Honda about 4 days after I changed this and paid $28 for JUST a cabin air filter at an auto parts store. Apparently- mice like to get in there

It's a Filter!
Size: 97133L1000&28113AA100
Fit great! Just look on youtube how to put in! I'm not in a particularly dusty area, but the air cabin filter was a disaster after only a year. Will buy again!

Easy
Size: CF11966&CA12166
Perfect fit. Easy to install. Good price. When changing the cabin filter the screw removal is a little easier if you notch out the plastic in front of it. Its behind the glove box and is not noticeable.
