Seki Kikusui Cutlery: Crafting Excellence and Tradition in Seki for Over 70 Years
The Perfect Fusion of Elegance and Performance
The Spirit of Seki: From Swords to Kitchen Knives
Founded in 1953 in the Kasuga neighborhood of Seki City, renowned as Japan’s legendary sword-making capital, Seki Kikusui Cutlery grew out of a postwar era when craftsmen were rebuilding both their lives and their skills. From that time on, they have carried the belief that the sharpness and beauty once reserved for swords should live in the tools we use every day, whether in the fields, the factory, or your kitchen. Each knife is a reflection of the traditional Seki sword-crafting spirit: unbreakable, unbending, and superior cutting performance.
From the Sea to the Kitchen: Expanding Craftsmanship
The company’s roots trace back to producing fishing tools and industrial blades. Over the decades, as its technical mastery deepened, Seki Kikusui expanded its expertise from sea to land, evolving from functional tools into refined cutlery and kitchenware that enhance daily living.
Today, Seki Kikusui produces a wide range of products — from agricultural blades to professional kitchen knives — all crafted with the same precision, balance, and dedication to quality.
