Knives and Kitchenware

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. 

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.
