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.

Knife Information
Tadafusa manufacture their knives in the city of Sanjo, well known across Japan as the ‘town of blacksmiths’. The likes of Yoshikane, Hinoura, and Kawamura all hail from the same city. Tadafusa was founded in 1948 by Sone Torasaburo, who began making sickles, knives, and other bladed tools using traditional forging methods, but then began to specialise in kitchen knives, which has culminated in the immaculate pieces you see here.
