【Japanese Knives】
Seki City, located in Gifu Prefecture, Japan, is a renowned center for cutlery production, known for preserving the traditional sharpness of its blades. Its reputation extends far beyond Japan, earning recognition as one of the world’s three major cutlery production centers. The knives crafted in Seki are the culmination of centuries of skills and knowledge, handed down through generations.
【Knife Blade】
The exceptional sharpness of the stainless steel blade is achieved through specialized techniques such as precision grinding and edging. Additionally, careful heat treatment ensures the blade is properly hardened, resulting in outstanding stability and long-lasting durability.
【Exceptional Sharpness】
A sharp knife requires minimal force—simply pull the edge through food to achieve clean, precise cuts without crushing the food fibers. It can be used not only for slicing various meats and fish, but also for boning, cutting, peeling, and many other kitchen tasks. Combining professional-level performance with everyday comfort, it makes an excellent choice for home cookery.
【Balanced Handle】
The lightweight, yet durable handle is designed to provide a firm grip while minimizing wrist strain. Enjoy comfortable and safe cooking with a design calculated to fit ergonomically in your hand.
【Please Note】
To maintain the sharpness of the knife, avoid using it to cut frozen foods or hard fish bones. Only use a knife specifically designed for those functions. Additionally, never expose the knife to direct flame or high temperatures, such as those in an oven or stove top.
