Care instructions

To ensure your scissors' sharpness, precision, and longevity, clean them after each use with a soft cloth and sanitize them with alcohol if needed. Regularly apply a drop of oil to the pivot point and open and close the scissors to distribute it evenly. Store them in a dry, protective case to prevent rust and damage, and avoid dropping them. Check the tension periodically and adjust if the blades feel loose or tight. For best performance, professionally sharpen them every 6 to 12 months, depending on use.

Seki 関 - The city of Blades

In Gifu Prefecture, the city of Seki has been Japan’s blade-forging capital for over 800 years, earning a reputation as the “City of Blades.”
Its legacy began in the Kamakura period, when master swordsmiths—seeking the ideal conditions for forging—settled in Seki for its pure river water, rich charcoal, and fine iron sand.
These artisans developed a unique forging technique known for producing swords that were both incredibly sharp and exceptionally durable, prized by samurai across Japan.
Today, Seki’s blacksmiths uphold this tradition, seamlessly blending centuries-old methods with modern metallurgy to craft kitchen knives of unmatched precision and elegance, trusted by chefs and collectors around the world.

FAQs

All you need to know about Japanese Knives.

What makes Japanese knives different from Western knives?

Japanese knives typically feature harder steel, thinner and sharper blades, and lighter handles compared to Western knives. These characteristics allow for precision cutting, especially suited for detailed culinary tasks, but require careful maintenance to preserve sharpness and avoid damage.

How should I maintain and sharpen a Japanese knife?

Regularly hand-wash and dry your knife immediately after use to prevent rust and corrosion. Sharpen using a whetstone designed specifically for Japanese knives, maintaining a consistent angle (usually around 15 degrees). Avoid dishwashers and harsh cleaning methods to preserve blade integrity.

Can Japanese knives be used for any type of food preparation?

While versatile, certain Japanese knives are specialized: Gyuto (chef’s knife) handles most ingredients, Santoku excels in chopping vegetables and meats, while Yanagiba is specifically suited for slicing sashimi and seafood. Selecting the right knife enhances performance and preserves blade condition.

Why are Japanese knives often more expensive?

Japanese knives are handcrafted, employing traditional methods and premium high-carbon steel, which contributes to their exceptional sharpness, durability, and aesthetics. This artisanal craftsmanship and the high-quality materials used typically result in higher pricing compared to mass-produced knives.

Are Japanese knives suitable for beginners?

Yes, beginners can effectively use Japanese knives, but it’s essential to start with user-friendly styles like Santoku or Gyuto, known for balanced handling and versatility. Proper care, handling, and regular sharpening practices will ensure a positive experience, even for novices.
