KC-957 knives are made from DSR-1K6 high-carbon steel from DAIDO Steel Co., Ltd., which gives the blade strength, corrosion resistance, and stable cutting performance. Around 0.6% carbon, together with molybdenum, creates a balanced composition that promotes long blade life and reliable performance in the kitchen. The tsuchime finish with fine hammering creates tiny indentations that make it easy to separate food during cutting, making the blade feel lighter and smoother. The traditional Japanese handle complements the overall character of the knife, providing a comfortable grip and natural cutting guidance.
Manufactured in Seki, a town with a long history of Japanese knife making, the KC-950 series embodies craftsmanship and authenticity.

Tradition remains alive, evolving naturally while preserving the core principles of classical Japanese sword making. Each knife reflects manual skill, deep knowledge of steel, and respect for materials, clearly noticeable from the first cut.
VG-10 steel has earned its reputation through a balanced composition that supports long-lasting sharpness, structural stability, and an extremely fine edge. The blade responds precisely to careful grinding, delivering aggressive yet controlled cutting performance. The result offers remarkable sharpness combined with reliability, suitable for demanding kitchen tasks as well as intensive everyday use.
Production in Seki blends historic forging methods with modern control of heat treatment and steel structure. Every step focuses on performance, balance, and durability rather than superficial perfection. Japanese knives from this region have gained global recognition for their elegance, extreme sharpness, and technical sophistication, all grounded in authentic craftsmanship.
