Discover the artistry of Seki City's renowned Kanetsune, a master bladesmith born in 1925, who upholds the traditional forging techniques of the Kamakura era. During WWII, he was compelled to produce military swords, but after the war, he crafted specialized tools for the Japan Racing Association. His unique blend of seven-layer soft iron and Yasugi steel creates modern Japanese blades that seamlessly blend tradition with contemporary elegance.

The Kanetsune 'Forged Hunter' and 'Hundred-Fold Craftsman' series feature elegant designs and razor-sharp edges. Their blades, forged repeatedly, showcase intricate patterns that highlight their cutting and chopping prowess. Although this knife is a replica, its quality rivals the original, differing only in price. Hand-sharpened to an exceptional edge, it slices through paper mid-air as effortlessly as it cuts vegetables.

Hand-forged materials ensure a more uniform and refined distribution of carbides, significantly enhancing the metal's mechanical properties after heat treatment, such as strength and impact toughness. This process improves the toughness of stainless steel, achieving the desired hardness, high wear resistance, and excellent durability.
