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 the 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 learned traditional blade making in Fukui, started making knives with "Shigeki saku" and “Hideyuki saku” mark.

Care:

Ginsan (Gin3 or Silver #3) is stainless carbon steel, with 14% added Chromium. Retaining the character of Japanese carbon steel, with a similar hardness of Shirogami #2, Ginsan is stainless. Its edge retention is only slightly inferior to Shirogami #2, but the fact that it combines ease of sharpening, carbon steel character as well being stainless makes it a great choice for those who wish to have a Japanese carbon steel knife that is easy to maintain.

Cutting Surface:

Recommended cutting surface: wood, rubberized boards and high-end composites, and quality plastics such as polyethylene 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.

Great value
Size: 18-26 Expedition, 15-26 F-150, 18-26 Navigator
The engine air filter fit perfect. The cabin air filter was a bit of a challenge fitting. seemed to be a bit larger but it went in and got the cap back on the box. For the price you cant beat it. Would buy again!

Great Filter Set for Allergy‑Sensitive Families and MPG‑Minded Drivers
Size: 21-25 TLX, 18-25 Odyssey
I bought this set because I prefer handling routine maintenance myself, especially cabin and engine air filters, rather than paying dealership prices for simple jobs. The package included one cabin air filter and one engine air filter, plus a full backup set for the next service interval. Both filters installed easily and fit the 2018 Honda Odyssey exactly as expected. No trimming, no forcing, and no alignment issues. The cabin filter seated cleanly in the glove‑box housing, and the engine filter dropped into the airbox without any airflow restriction or sealing gaps. This setup is ideal for Odyssey owners who want to maintain optimal cabin air quality—especially helpful for families with allergies—and for drivers looking to keep engine airflow unrestricted for the best possible MPG and throttle response. It may not be necessary for anyone who relies exclusively on dealership service or doesn’t perform their own maintenance. Overall, this is a straightforward, high‑value filter set that installs cleanly and supports both air quality and engine efficiency for DIY‑minded Odyssey owners.

Looks good and fits
It looks good and fits perfectly; other than that, I have no idea how to tell if it's better or worse than anything else.
