Nigara Hamono from the Aomori region of Japan is a very interesting forge. The main blacksmith, Go Yoshizawa is probably one of the most innovative in the game. He keeps pushing and exploring new methods and ways to display his amazing craft. The result of his distinctive way of working can be seen especially in his "Trollkiller", "Anmon" and "Kurozome" knives.

Foodgear always advises against cutting all kinds of bones and frozen goods. Knives must not be washed in a dishwasher, as this removes sharpness and provokes rust - even in stainless alloys!
