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:

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 polyethylene 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.

My dogs love them
Size: Large, Style: Peanut Butter
One of the few toys my pit bulls can't break. They absolutely love these toys and play chase with them. Usually, they can break toys in less than 5 minutes, but not these.

Good quality, not a bad price
Size: Large, Style: Peanut Butter
Good value. It was cheaper to buy the pack of three instead of buying three separate. I wanted to try different shapes for the dogs. Honestly, they aren’t impressed, but it’s not due to a lack of quality of the product. It’s because they would rather shred Kleenex, eat dog poop, and steal chicken eggs.

My dogs love love love these
Size: Large, Style: Peanut Butter
Repeat buyer here. I have Blue Heelers and Aussies so I have purchased many of the jumbo balls and we have loved them. I decided to gift this set to a friend. The pups ages range from 4 months-11 years and they adore these toys, even sleep with them! If you want to train your dogs to play with toys instead of your belongings, you can't go wrong with this peanut butter trio!
