 Shigeki Tanaka began his career as a blacksmith in the village of Takefu for three years. He learned the intricacies of hand forged blades. He later returned to Miki to continue his work in his family's workshop where they mainly made scythes and other agricultural implements. Now it focuses on kitchen knives and has gained a worldwide reputation for producing some of the best knives available. These knives are a functional work of art and would make a great addition to any collection.
