New
Santoku Kitchen knife Seki Kanetsugu Zuiun Kiwami 18cm 9503
The Santoku Seki Kanetsugu Zuiun Kiwami has an impressive design and is made of the highest quality materials. The Zuiun is a special model manufactured to celebrate the company's centennial. Seki Kanetsugu Zuiun knives have blades with a wavy “hamon” pattern similar to Japanese swords. In its current incarnation, Seki Kanetsugu Cutlery has been making modern blades that realize the characteristics of Japanese swords--unbreakable, unbending and very sharp. The company also infused the Zuiun with the spirit of such swords. The blade is made using the San Mai technique, where the core is made of high-speed powder steel SPG2 (Super Powder Gold 2) and covered with 62-layer damascus. DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) blade coating is a thin layer that is applied to the surface to improve the properties of the knife. Surface treatment increases resistance to wear and abrasion. Finely sharpened by artisans, the surface of the blade features a scudding cloud-like pattern. It is also forged into a V-shaped "hamaguri-ba" blade, reflecting a characteristic of Japanese swords. The beautiful, very durable and easy-to-clean handle is made of laminate, has an octagonal shape and fits perfectly in the hand. All Seki Kanetsugu Zuiun Kiwami knives are made by hand. Delivered in wooden gift boxes.

Gyuto Kitchen knife Seki Kanetsugu Zuiun Kiwami 21cm 9505
The Japanese chef's knife Seki Kanetsugu Zuiun Kiwami 9505 is capable of handling any kitchen task and makes a unique and useful gift. The blade's k-tip geometry is similar to that of a kiritsuke or kengata knife. The Zuiun Kiwami series was released in honor of Seki Kanetsugu's 100th anniversary and embodies the traditions of Japanese swordsmithing, inspired by samurai swordmaking techniques.
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.

Seki Kanetsugu traces its history back to the 14th century, with the forge of swordsmith Katsu Tadashi. At that time, Japan was plagued by prolonged civil wars, and the country needed weapons. A line of master swordsmiths continually passed down the secrets of their craft from generation to generation. After the ban on swords was imposed in 1869, the forge's masters, like other Japanese swordsmiths, were forced to switch to civilian production. Seki Kanetsugu Hamono Co., Ltd. was officially founded in 1918 by Matsujiro Kawamura, a descendant of Master Kanetsugu. Currently, Seki Kanetsugu produces professional kitchen knives, which are sold both domestically in Japan and successfully exported internationally.

Key features include cryogenic blade treatment (i.e., exposure to low temperatures) and the Hamaguriba lens-shaped sharpening, which produces a cutting edge highly resistant to lateral stress. The brand uses a wide range of steels for its various series, allowing it to offer knives in a variety of price ranges. Popular series of Seki Kanetsugu Japanese kitchen knives include the Zuiun and Zuiun Kiwami, Saiun, Pro S, and Pro J. Zuiun was created for the company's 100th anniversary and represents a tribute to centuries-old traditions. The blades of these knives are forged using the sanmai technique: their core is made of high-tech SPG2 powder steel, renowned for its incredible hardness. The sheaths are made of multilayered Damascus steel, creating an elegant wavy pattern. The knives are equipped with elegant wa handles and are supplied in gift wooden boxes. The Seki Kanetsugu Saiun also holds a place of honor in the brand's premium segment. Saiun blades feature VG-10 steel cores sandwiched between 33 layers of Damascus steel. The micarta handles are pleasant to the touch and highly moisture-resistant. Seki Kanetsugu Pro J kitchen knives feature blades with ZA-18 steel cores, protected by softer, yet corrosion-resistant AUS-2 steel sheaths on the sides. Distinguishing features of the Pro J series include a hammered pattern on the blade's side surface and ergonomic pakka wood handles. The Seki Kanetsugu Pro S is a hygienic series designed for professional kitchens. Its key feature is its all-stainless steel construction. The hollow handle makes the knife lightweight, well-balanced, and easy to clean—it's dishwasher safe. This series is an excellent choice not only for restaurants and catering establishments, but also for budding home cooks looking for a reliable, low-maintenance tool at an affordable price.
