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 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 learnt traditional blade making in Fukui, started making knives with "Shigeki saku" and “Hideyuki saku” mark.

Care:

Wash and dry with a soft sponge, and safely store after use. 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.

Digital Detective Delight
Format: Paperback
Learn Computer Forensics is a standout resource that makes diving into digital investigations feel both exciting and achievable. Right from the first pages, you are drawn in with relatable scenarios...uncovering clues from a smartphone or piecing together a story from social media posts. The author’s warm, conversational style turns what could be a dry subject into a fascinating journey, making complex ideas like evidence preservation and chain of custody feel straightforward and even a little fun to explore. As you work your way through the book, you’ll find clear, hands-on advice for setting up your own forensic workstation and choosing the right tools for the job. Chapters on Windows artifacts, RAM analysis, and email investigations guide you step by step. What makes these sections especially engaging is the way each lesson includes practical exercises. By winding your way through browser history or reconstructing email paths, you gain real skills instead of just theory. It feels less like following a checklist and more like cracking a case alongside a friendly mentor. What really sets this edition apart is its human touch. The author peppers in personal anecdotes...like tips for sketching a crime scene or handling tricky insider-threat investigations...that add personality and context. You’ll walk away not only understanding how to pull data from a disk image but also why certain methods matter in real-life cases. If you want a forensics book that feels less like a textbook and more like a conversation with a seasoned investigator, this is it. It earns every one of its five stars.

A book covering most of the aspects of digital forensics
Format: Paperback
In my opinion, this book is really well written with a flowing and progressing layout. The chapters build up from the basics of digital forensics walking through all the core concepts up until specialized areas of digital forensics such as dead box forensics , network investigations, and online and #OSINT investigations. Not only does the book give comprehensive information on all the key aspects of digital forensics such as searching, analyzing, acquiring, and securing digital evidence but it also provides its readers a taste of how it is like conducting digital forensics examinations in a professional setting such as law enforcement. Piecing together theoretical knowledge with the professional settings the knowledge will be utilized in, the author made sure to include key details such as the different types of graphical evidence examiners may encounter such as child sexual assault, the importance of chain of custody if the case were to go to trial, forensically sound examination environments and how you must maintain control of the environment and much more. Not only does the book cover in detail the foundations of digital forensics but it also covers some of the advanced topics such as RAM forensics, internet evidence, cloud computing, and OSINT investigations. These topics build on the foundations discussed earlier in the book and are very critical as real-life cases usually encompass most of these intricacies. Understanding what evidence may be discovered in each of these locations and how to use the tools are very critical for a successful career as a digital forensic analyst. Report writing is often overlooked but actually is the most important aspect in digital forensics. The last two chapters are a must-read for everyone in this field. The author discusses writing credible reports and ensuring they are peer-reviewed along with ethics. This was a welcome read, being so many want to get into this space and are unaware of the atrocities they may find. Whether you're just starting out in computer forensics or want to expand your knowledge of digital forensics. This is an excellent addition to your reading list.
