About Takeshi Saji 佐治 武士

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 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.

Reef safe sunscreen
Style: Sensitive Skin, Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 2)
I bought this for Hawaii as a reef safe option. I have sensitive skin so I have to be careful about what sunscreens I buy - this worked great and did not irritate my skin. It's a bit thick but it's an SPF 50 so that's not a surprise. A bottle lasted an entire week in Hawaii. A great product for sensitive skin!
