The blade is crafted using three layers using the traditional San Mai technique. It is made of high-quality SPG2 (Super Powder Gold 2) powder steel, renowned for its exceptional hardness, excellent edge retention, and high wear resistance. The core is encased in 62-layer Damascus steel sheaths, and the surface is protected by a modern DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating. This super-hard diamond-like carbon coating significantly increases the blade's resistance to abrasion, moisture, and aggressive substances. The unique cloud-like pattern on the blade is called hamon. The blade features a traditional Hamaguri-ba—a convex V-shaped grind similar to that used on Japanese swords. The octagonal wa handle is made of durable multi-layer laminate. Each Seki Kanetsugu Zuiun Kiwami chef's knife is crafted and sharpened by hand. It comes in an elegant wooden gift box.
