Kai’s kitchen knife Seki Magoroku

Kai Seki Magoroku Damascus Gyutou Chef Knife 180mm (AE-5204)

The history of the cutlery in Seki City, Gifu Prefecture began in Kamakura Period (1185-1333). And the Seki’s blacksmiths made many celebrated Japanese swords.

Especially, the sharpness and beauty of the sword “Seki Magoroku” (関孫六) surpassed the rest. 

Entering the Meiji period (1868-1912), the samurai disappeared in Japan and no one could wear a sword. The city’s blacksmiths became to produce the Japanese kitchen knives for the people’s cooking.

The cutlery company KAI have inherited the belife of the ancestors that they made the swords which didn’t break, bend, and cut well. They express the thought with the brand name of the kitchen knife.
