Seki Kanetsugu is a well-known brand for producing high-quality cutlery, particularly traditional Japanese-style knives that combine craftsmanship, precision, and functionality. The knives produced under the Seki Kanetsugu name are crafted in the city of Seki, which has a rich history of blade-making dating back over 700 years.

The unique “Hamaguri-ba” blade shape, inspired by the legendary Samurai sword, offers unparalleled ease in making precise straight cuts. The intricate patterns meticulously hand-forged onto the blade beautifully showcase the artistry of traditional blacksmithing methods.

Each Kanetsugu Saiun knife boasts a Damascus blade, featuring a VG10 steel core with 1% carbon content—a highly esteemed alloy in the cutlery realm. This steel’s impressive hardness ensures exceptional cutting prowess and long-lasting sharpness. The core is then encased in 32 layers of a softer steel than VG10, resulting in a blade of 65 layers (32 surrounding the core), visibly represented by the blade’s wavy patterns. The handles are crafted from micarta, a humidity and temperature-resistant material, ensuring kitchen safety.
