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. |
