Tanaka Shigeki Habakiri SPG2 Petty Knife 135mm

Kazuyuki Tanaka Knife Manufacturing Co., Ltd.

The Essence of Craftsmanship, The Standard of Perfection

Founded at the end of the Meiji era, with its roots tracing back to a sickle blacksmith during the Russo-Japanese War, Kazuyuki Tanaka has continuously evolved into a symbol of artisanal knife-making excellence. Guided by the motto:

"Crafting tools recognized by the most discerning artisans and chefs,"
the company was officially established in 1945 under the name Tanaka Benkama Seisakusho.

By the year 2000, the brand officially changed its name to Kazuyuki Tanaka Knife Manufacturing, remaining deeply rooted in tradition while constantly striving for innovation. A prime example of this spirit is the Shigekisaku knife line, born from the fusion of masterful forging techniques and bold, modern design.

Each Kazuyuki Tanaka knife is more than just a tool — it is a work of art bearing a unique personal touch, as one-of-a-kind as the face of every individual.

"Just as every person's face is unique, so is each knife - handcrafted  and forged entirely by hand, making no two knives exactly the same."
 

Kazuyuki Tanaka is committed to crafting each product with absolute dedication, delivering joy and complete satisfaction to every customer - whether in Japan or across the globe.

Kazuyuki Tanaka – Excellence in craftsmanship, enduring through time.
