In the picturesque city of Miki, a small traditional workshop serves as the birthplace of Tanaka knives, lovingly crafted by the skilled hands of Shigeki Tanaka and his dedicated team. Following the time-honored Japanese tradition that spans centuries, each Tanaka knife is meticulously hand-forged, preserving the essence of ancient craftsmanship. Tanaka-san's commitment to producing exceptional knives at an affordable price has garnered widespread acclaim. It fills us with pride to offer these extraordinary knives since 2008.
