Shigeki Tanaka is a blacksmith from Miki City Japan and is the man who masterfully crafted this deba knife with a refined Kasumi finish and hand-engraved kanji on its face. Its soft iron cladding and Aogami #2 core steel make it a top-tier carbon steel knife capable of holding razor-sharp edges through extensive use. The blade's thick one-sided grind provides exceptional performance when breaking down fish. The handle is a simply authentic ho wood D shape that you would find in most knife shops in Japan. Each knife is unique due to its handcrafted nature, and it is essential to dry the blade after washing to prevent rusting.
