About Tanaka Kazuyuki Hamono 田中一之刃物

Tanaka's blade making started in the late Meiji era in 1904, by making sickles during the Russo-Japanese War. In 1946, Tanaka workshop started focusing more on kitchen knives, and in year 2000 with the 3rd generation Kazuyuki Takana (田中 一之) on the throne, the family business changed its name to "Tanaka Kazuyuki Hamono" and has been using this name since. Kazuyuki's son - 4th generation blacksmith Shigeki Tanaka (田中 誠貴) - started making blades with his father in 1994. The father and son team, having learnt traditional blade making in Fukui, started making knives with "Shigeki saku" and “Hideyuki saku” mark.

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.

Love everything about it!
Color: Brown
Absolutely love this bag! It’s real Leather! It’s soft and slouchy. Has MANY inside pockets which like because I carry a little bit of everything. Has plenty of room without being overly huge. I’m using the crossbody strap to keep the weight off my shoulder and my hands free. This is a good handbag…and I am picky! This is the 4th bag (brand) I have gone thru this year alone. I’m gonna stick with this one (brand) til it wears out.

Lightweight
Color: Black
I’m not crazy about the leather but I love how light it is and all the compartments. I got tired of heavy leather shoulder bags and so did my shoulders. It’s perfect for every day and very roomy. I’m using the shorter strap for ease. I recommend this bag.
