Seki Knives

Seki Knives

Seki city is located in Gifu Prefecture and it has been reknown for its metalworking skills for over 700 years. Originally, swordsmiths established workshops here around the 13th century looking for the local water, clay and charcoal, which were particularly suited for katana swords making. After the katana ban of the Meiji period, these artisans started forging cutlery items such as kitchen knives, scissors, etc. Because of this, today Seki is one of the biggest knife-making hubs of Japan, together with Sakai in Osaka and Echizen in Fukui.

A lot of the most popular Seki knives are made of stainless or have stainless cladding, with double bevel, and built for Western-style handles, although some small makers still work with traditional Japanese handles. They tend to be easy to maintain, have great edge retentionl, and suit people who want a Japanese knife that can be used daily without worrying about rust.

From small generational workshops working by hand to companies that have spent decades developing new steels and manufacturing methods and are worldwide known for their innovations, Seki also presents a wide variety of options to find a knife style that better fits your style. Browse our current selection and get yours!
