Collection: Shigeki Tanaka

Shigeki Tanaka, a renowned Japanese blacksmith from Miki City, Hyogo Prefecture, started his career in 1996 at Shimizu Cutlery in Takefu City, Fukui Prefecture, where he trained in traditional knife-making. After three years, he returned to Hyogo and joined his family's business, Tanaka Tsutomu Kama Seisakusho, originally established as a sickle manufacturer.

In 2000, the business was renamed to Tanaka Kazuyuki Hamono, reflecting its broader focus. Shigeki Tanaka has since developed his brand and is known for crafting both double-edged and single-edged knives. His creations are highly sought after globally, often difficult to acquire due to their popularity and quality.
