This Kanetsune knife series feature Hon-Warikomi clad blades with a VG-1 core sandwiched by SUS410 stainless steel. This provides excellent edge-retention to a hardness of HRC 59-60. They are beautifully hammered, mirror polish, tsuchime-finish blades. "Tsuchime", is a Japanese-style hammer finish and helps to release foods quickly from the blade while cutting, making the meal-prep process quicker and more efficient.

The Nakiri style of Japanese knife is a classic design that has a straight, symmetrical edge and large face that is great for slicing, dicing, and chopping vegetables. Its main feature is its straight blade, designed to sit flat on the board.

This manufacturer is located at Seki City, known to be the City of Blades. The underground method in Japanese sword-making called “Seki-den” which started some 800 years back has been handed down to this present day. One of Japan’s supreme master craftsmen, Kanetsune Seki was able to conserve this method and employ it in all of his knives.
