Shegeki Tanaka Handmade Japanese Kamisori Straight Razor

These Japanese razors are hand forged by Shigeki Tanaka, a 4th generation master blacksmith based at the Kazuyuki Tanaka Works in Miki Japan, famous for producing high quality kitchen knives.

Each razor is made by laminating high carbon blue 2 steel in 16 alternating layers to produce an extremely sharp blade. As is the case with all kamisori, the blade is ground so that the bevel is not equal on both sides.

These razors are designed for right handed shavers. The tang is made of stainless steel, bonded onto the blade and wrapped in black nylon cord to provide a firm gripping surface.

These razors have a cutting edge of approximately 2", and the length of razor is approx. 6.7".

Specifications: The measurements can vary slightly from razor to razor as these are all handmade.
