About Tanaka Kazuyuki Hamono 田中一之刃物

Tanaka's blade making started in the late Meiji era in 1904, by making sickles during the Russo-Japanese War. In 1946, Tanaka workshop started focusing more on kitchen knives, and in the year 2000 with the 3rd generation Kazuyuki Takana (田中 一之) on the throne, the family business changed its name to "Tanaka Kazuyuki Hamono" and has been using this name since. Kazuyuki's son - 4th generation blacksmith Shigeki Tanaka (田中 誠貴) - started making blades with his father in 1994. The father and son team, having learned traditional blade making in Fukui, started making knives with "Shigeki saku" and “Hideyuki saku” mark.

Care:

Aogami #2 (Blue #2) steel is a premium Japanese high carbon steel for knife making. It is not stainless, therefore you must wipe your knife dry after each use, in particular the core steel not covered by the stainless cladding. Patina will develop over time, which will appear as “discoloration” on the cutting edge, but that is the nature of carbon steel - not a defect. The stainless cladding covers a large part of the blade, making maintenance easier but still preserving the cutting and sharpening pleasure of the Aogami #2 core. Avoid cutting into bones, frozen foods, hard fruit pits.

Cutting Surface:

Recommended cutting surface: wood, rubberized boards and high-end composites, and quality plastics such as polyethene make acceptable cutting surfaces, and will help protect and prolong knife’s edge. AVOID glass, metal, countertops, and other rigid, non-forgiving surfaces.

Sharpening:

We recommend sharpening all quality Japanese knives on whetstones, as we believe they yield the best results for your knives.

Great way to support summer learning!
Format: Paperback
I absolutely love the Summer Bridge Activities: Bridging Grades 3–4! This workbook is a fantastic way to keep kids engaged and learning over the summer break. The activities are well-designed, fun, and educational, providing the perfect balance between reinforcing what they’ve already learned and getting them excited for the next school year. The layout is visually appealing, with colorful pages and interactive exercises that make learning feel like play. What I appreciate most is how it covers key subjects like math, reading, writing, and critical thinking skills in bite-sized chunks that kids can easily manage. My child enjoyed doing a little bit each day, and I noticed significant improvement in their confidence as they completed each activity. It's great that this workbook also includes helpful tips for parents to guide their kids through the exercises. Overall, this is a must-have resource for parents looking to keep their children sharp and engaged during the summer while still having fun. Highly recommend!

Great for growing minds!
I love these workbooks! We used to buy these at a local store until it closed. They help kids retain what they learned in school over the summer. The worksheet usually takes 5-10 minutes a day.

Cute adorable book "I Love You to the Moon and Back"
Format: Board book, Format: Board book
Review: "I Love You to the Moon and Back " **Rating:** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Headline: 🧸 Adorable, Durable, and Perfect for a 5-Year-Old! I purchased **"I Love You to the Moon and Back"** for my 5-year-old granddaughter, and it’s an absolute treasure! This is the kind of book that’s a **joy to read aloud** and sturdy enough to handle little hands. **👍 What We Loved (The Pros):** * **Illustrations:** The pictures by **Tim Warnes are fantastic**—they are bright, engaging, and have a lovely, classic feel that really captivates my granddaughter's attention. * **Quality & Durability:** As a **cute little hardcover book**, it's built to last. It holds up well to repeated readings and being carried around the house. * **The Story :** The simple, sweet message is just right for this age group. It reinforces a sweet, loving sentiment and makes for a comforting and quick read before naptime or bed. **📝 Room for Improvement (A Minor Note):** * Honestly, it’s hard to find a fault here. Perhaps just that we wish it was a little longer because she asks to read it immediately again! **Overall Impression:** A wonderful, high-quality picture book that makes a great gift. It combines **beautiful artwork** with an endearing story. We highly recommend it 👍🏾💜
