Knife Information
A relatively young but masterful blacksmith, Shigeki Tanaka crafts his knives in a workshop in Miki City, Japan. Known for being skilful and creative, he works with almost all knifemaking steels, from high carbon like Aogami, to powder stainless steel.
The first thing we noted was the impeccable presentation. A Palownia wooden box houses all his ZDP189 knives and is lined with red velvet. The Damascus is subtle, and the performance is legendary, with extreme edge retention and effortless cuts.
Best paired with a 27cm felt lined blade guard and a 1000/6000 whetstone
