Knife Information
Takeshi Saji has perhaps one of the widest ranges of blade finishes and stylistic creations of any blacksmith in Japan. He works with all Japanese Carbon Steels, as well as R2, VG10, and others. He crafts his own Damascus in Rainbow, Diamond, and Black Nickel finishes, and fits a wide range of handle types. He can truly do it all, and all at the ripe young age of 73. To this day he produces functional works of art out of the Takefu Knife Village in Japan, surrounded by other like-minded craftsman.

Knife Information
A relatively young but masterful 4th generation blacksmith, Shigeki Tanaka crafts his knives in a workshop in Miki City, Japan. He joined his fathers workshop in 1999, and has been making knives ever since. He has come to prominence with his R2 line, and excellent heat treatment and hard-wearing nature of his blades. Known for being skilful and creative, he works with almost all knifemaking steels, from high carbon like Aogami, to powder stainless steel.
