Shigeki Tanaka Knives

Shigeki Tanaka knives represent Japanese heritage and excellence. Shigeki Tanaka is a fourth-generation blacksmith from Miki City, the oldest blacksmithing town in Japan. His journey as an artisan led him to Takefu City, Fukui Prefecture, where he honed his skills in crafting single-edged knives under the guidance of a traditional craftsman and helped to launch the brand Seikisaku.

What sets him apart as a true master is his rare ability to expertly craft both double-edged and single-edged knives, showcasing his versatility and prowess in the world of blacksmithing. With Shigeki Tanaka's skillful hands at work, each Shigeki Tanaka Gyuto and Shigeki Tanaka Petty knife becomes a work of art, epitomizing the timeless traditions of Japanese craftsmanship. Owning one of his creations not only grants you a remarkable cutting tool but also a piece of history and dedication to the art of knife-making.

That’s why we are proud to offer Shigeki Tanaka knives. Each of his hand-forged knives embodies the Japanese heritage of exquisite craftsmanship by combining the best materials with dedication and mastery of traditional processes.
