Master Yoshikazu Tanaka Knives
One of the most famous knifemaker from Sakai, Japan. Tanaka-san is known for his blue steel knives that he made for Konosuke Fujiyama FM series, but talking to the knifemaker himself, Tanaka-san is known for his excellent heat treatment and his forging skills. Knives made by Tanaka-san has a wavier cladline between the hagane and jigane compared to other makers, and often has more core steel exposed. Our Customized Sakimaru made by Tanaka-san is sword inspired. It has an extra curve at the spine and a longer o-kissaki tip, makes it looks similar to a japanese sword. The "T" mark on the knife is an indication of Tanaka-san's craft. Tanaka-san is now training his son, Yoshihisa Tanaka to make another series of Konosuke YM at a lower price
