Kanetsugu Seki Japan

Kanetsugu Seki Japan – The tradition of Japanese swords in modern cuisine

Kanetsugu Seki Japan is a traditional Japanese knife brand originating in the city of Seki, which is considered the centre of Japanese sword making. Its history dates back to the 14th century, when famous samurai swords were manufactured here. It is this sword-making tradition that the Kanetsugu brand has brought to the world of kitchen knives. The company was officially founded in 1918 by master craftsman Matsujiro Kanetsugu, who continued the legacy of the legendary 14th-century swordsmith Kanetsugu Naoe. Now in its fourth generation, the modern company combines traditional craftsmanship with modern production technologies, while still priding itself on hand sharpening, polishing and precision workmanship.

What makes Kanetsugu knives so special?

A combination of tradition and technology: Hand-finished blades, many with a Damascus pattern or made from modern powder steels (e.g. SG2), combine aesthetics and performance.

Sharpness and durability: Kanetsugu knives are known for their extreme sharpness, high hardness and long-lasting cutting edge.

Precision manufacturing: Kanetsugu emphasises ergonomics, balance and perfect control when cutting.

Japanese design: Elegant, traditional and modern blade and handle shapes with an emphasis on aesthetics and user comfort.

Model series and uses

Popular series include:

Zuiun – top-of-the-range models made from SG2 powder steel with a Damascus pattern and a beautiful mirror finish.

Saiun – an elegant series with classic Damascus steel.

Pro M, Pro J, Pro S – professional series for chefs and demanding households.

Kanetsugu knives are manufactured for various uses – from versatile Gyuto knives to small Petty knives and traditional Kiritsuke or Nakiri knives.

Conclusion

Kanetsugu Seki Japan is the choice for those who seek Japanese quality, craftsmanship and uncompromising sharpness. Their knives embody the spirit of the samurai tradition and are ideal for both professionals and lovers of exceptional kitchen utensils.
