The highly popular Tanaka Ginsanko Nashiji is now back with limited quantity!
================
Always thought that Tanaka blades are great value with poor F&F? Think again!
For a long time I tought the same, and this is the reason I was not able to fully commit on carrying all the other ranges of Tanaka knives other than the western R2 line. For a long time, I wish I could offer the great value and cutting performance of Tanaka knives with a much improved F&F, and I finally done it: I am proud to offer you the K&S Tanaka knives. Same maker, same great cutting performance, same unbeatable value, but a much better overall finished Tanaka.
So what I have achieved?
- Rounded spine and choil a standard, no more harsh edge;
- An awesome newly designed K&S semi-custom handle a standard.
- Same great value!
