Shigeki Tanaka’s work is very hard to come by in recent years. The Ginsan Damascus offers a very similar grind to the famous Blue 2 damascus line, and I’d consider it to be one of the best amongst Tanaka’s offerings.

=========
Based in Miki city of Hyogo prefecture, Tanaka not only offers the unicron SG2 Ironwood line, their Blue 2 and Ginsan lines are also highly appreciated for their relatively low price, excellent cutting performance and its rustic look.
