Knife Information

A relatively young but masterful 4th generation blacksmith, Shigeki Tanaka crafts his knives in a workshop in Miki City, Japan. He joined his fathers workshop in 1999, and has been making knives ever since. He has come to prominence with his R2 line, and excellent heat treatment and hard-wearing nature of his blades. Known for being skilful and creative, he works with almost all knifemaking steels, from high carbon like Aogami, to powder stainless steel.
