Tanaka Japanese Damascus Kitchen Knives at The Best Things

Tanaka VG
Damascus Steel Japanese Kitchen Knives by Tanaka

This is a newly devloped line of hot-forged semi-handmade custom knives by Tanaka. These knives are positioned to compete with the Hattori HD knife line, which we also carry, although so far we prefer these Tanaka knives to the Hattori HD knives. All processes are done by hand except the initial blade forming which is done by machine. Each knife has more than an hour of hand-work by a highly trained Japanese knife maker.
