Seki City, the City of Blades, is the
800-year-old blade capital of the Orient. In Seki City, we
have the greatest number of Japanese sword craftsmen in all
Japan, Actively work on passing down the inimitable craft and
tradition of Japanese sword-making from generation to
generation, and intent upon introducing these excellent swords
from Japan to the world.
Kanetsune Seki is one of the few
master craftsmen of Japanese swords. The Master inherited
Seki-den, 800 years of secrets that create extraordinarily
sharp Japanese swords, creates notable swords, yet will not
fracture or bend. Kanetsune Seki creates notable swords. Their
delicate feeling of balance, distinctive quality, and reliable
razor sharpness are always true to their
name.
Many of the knives forged by the
master craftsman Kanetsune Seki are made of blue steel, a type
of ultra-high carbon steel. Blue steel, which has been used
for creating Japanese hunting knives from ancient times, has
long-lasting sharpness and repels
oils.
Knives formed from blue steel
reveal the wonder of their
sharpness.
Blue steel, which remains most
popular among Japanese hunters, is the superlative variety for
select people. Knives that the master craftsman Kanetsune Seki
forges from blue steel employing the secret art of Seki-den
possess incredible sharpness.
