Collection: Yoshikazu Tanaka

Tanaka-San is one of the most renowned master blacksmiths in the Sakai region of Japan. He works with many local brands and produces exclusive knives for them. Well-known collaborations include HADO and Sakai Kikumori.

His area of ​​expertise is the white paper steel Shirogami #2. Thanks to his years of experience with this steel, he is able to make his blades extremely sharp, edge-holding and tough using his specially developed hardening process. But all of this doesn't happen without having to do without a flat, thin and delicate knife in the end.

Tanaka-San is definitely one of the rock stars in Sakai and I am proud to carry his knives.
