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.

You cannot go wrong with this purchase.
Size: Queen (1 Count), Color: Crescent White
I bought this for my husband who was complaining about shoulder pain from rolling side to side nightly. He said the support is great. Quality made and comfortable, a great value for the money. Sleeps better and the company sends extra filling to adjust the thickness if you choose to.

Thank you Lord!
Size: Queen (1 Count), Color: Crescent White, Size: Queen (1 Count), Color: Crescent White
I appreciate this pillow! Literally helped my neck problems. With the pillows I used before I would have neck pain and would be super uncomfortable. Even to the point I would feel better just sleeping without a pillow. No matter what pillow I used in the house my neck would be sore and would develop headaches. Ever since I bought this and started using it I haven't had any neck problems. Like none. I love how only one side is cooling so I can decided. The material is really nice and soft. It's also a good hugging pillow. It's definitely weirdly shaped but it has a reason. This thing will probably last me a long time. And I'm glad I spent my money on this!

Pillow is "just right"
Size: Queen (2 Count), Color: Crescent White
I have been looking for the "right" pillow for 6 years now & this is it! I like to sleep on my side but also on my back if snoring. This pillow is the perfect shape for " side-sleeping" & also comfortable for my back using my adjustable bed levels. I waited until I slept on it before ordering the pillow cased that fit the unusual shape of the pillow. Both purchases work well! Now what to do with the other 6 pillows I have tried over the years!!(

Adjustable Pillow for shoulder pain.
Size: Queen (1 Count), Color: Crescent White
I've been using this pillow about a week, and my shoulder pain has really dissipated!!!! I like that I was able to add the extra filler to personalize the pillow to fit my needs. Very good product!
