About the craftsman

Heritage & Innovation

Seki Kikusui Cutlery was founded in 1953 in Seki City, the Japanese home of sword making, and has spent over 70 years bringing that same sharpness and beauty to everything from agricultural and industrial equipment to everyday kitchen tools.

Blending traditional craftsmanship with modern manufacturing, each piece is designed for excellent cutting performance, ease of use, and long-lasting quality.

From Sea to Land

As times changed, Seki Kikusui Cutlery evolved from crafting fishing and agricultural tools to specializing in high-performance Japanese kitchen knives. The expertise gained from making durable, rust-resistant fishing blades now lives on in every KIRINAMI kitchen knife, designed to be lightweight, comfortable to use, and highly resistant to rust—perfect for everyday cooking at home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Seki Kikusui knives dishwasher safe?

No, Seki Kikusui knives should not be washed in the dishwasher. To prevent damage to your knife and ensure it lasts you for years to come, please wash the knife by hand with a mild detergent and gentle sponge.

Will my Seki Kikusui knife rust?

Seki Kikusui knives are crafted using stainless steel, making them rust resistant and low maintenance when compared to carbon steel knives. However, rust can still occasionally form even on stainless steel knives, so be sure to dry your knife completely before putting it away and to store in a dry place to prevent rust from forming.
