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 the 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 learned 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 polyethylene 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.

Wonderful
Size: Cooling Queen, Size: Cooling Queen
I absolutely love these pillows From the very first night, I could feel the difference. They are incredibly comfortable, soft, and still provide great support for my neck and head. Plus, the modern design makes my bed look so much cleaner and more elegant. The fabric feels high quality, and the pillows keep their shape really well. I genuinely feel like I’m sleeping better since I started using them. Great value for the price, and I would definitely buy them again. Highly recommend

No more neck pain
Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
I needed new pillows and I’ll be the first to admit that I’m picky about my pillow. I had ordered different ones to try and these were the keepers. They are not too soft nor too firm. I wake up with neck pain and headaches if I don’t have a good pillow. I’m not experiencing any either one now. Make the purchase for yourself and try them.
