- It is manufactured by artisans from Seki City, Gifu Prefecture, which is one of the three major production areas of kitchen knives.
- Without giving excessive lamination and decoration to the blade, the contrast of the core material of the blade and the side material shines dazzling.
- What matters to the kitchen knife is balance rather than hardness.
- Sharpening with a simple sharpener is not recommended. We strongly recommend using a grinding wheel.
