Brand Introduction:
Seki Kanetsugu is a prestigious cutlery brand from Seki City with over 700 years of sword-forging heritage.
Its history traces back to the Nanboku-chō era (1345–1349), when the first-generation smith Kanetsugu began forging Japanese swords in Mino province.
In 1918, Matsujirō Kawamura, a descendant of Kanetsugu, founded Seki Kanetsugu Hamono Co., transforming the traditional sword-making craft into modern kitchen knife production.
The brand is dedicated to reproducing the sharpness of Japanese swords in kitchen cutlery, combining traditional craftsmanship with advanced technology.
