The tsuchime hammered finish gives the blade an attractive texture that also helps food slide off easily during cutting. The layered design combines an extremely sharp Aogami #2 (blue steel) core with a stable SUS410 stainless steel cladding, resulting in long-lasting edge retention and high hardness of around HRC 61-62. This combination creates a blade with dynamic responsiveness, high resistance to deformation, and precise cuts even with more demanding ingredients.
The black handles made of high-quality plywood have a simple shape, fit comfortably in the hand, and withstand everyday wear and tear. The half tang, complemented by a stainless steel guard, provides a balanced feel when handling and stable control over the blade.
The overall character of the knife reflects traditional seki craftsmanship, which combines modern materials and the long-standing experience of Japanese manufacturers.

Amazing knives with a history spanning more than eight hundred years originate from a place where craftsmanship has been refined through countless generations. Seki, widely known as the City of Blades, concentrates an exceptional number of Japanese swordsmiths and knifemakers. 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. Made in Japan here signals origin, heritage, and a serious commitment to quality.
