It has been said that “Seki blades never bend or break, and always cut well.” In Seki city, these outstanding traditional techniques have been inherited in the modern cutlery industry. We have successfully manufactured this stout knife using our original forging method. The blade is made of molybdenum vanadium stainless steel, the same used for surgical scalpels, to achieve its hard-to-break, sharp, and easy-to-use properties. It is also rust resistant.
