Seki Japanese Knives

Seki, in Gifu Prefecture, is Japan's largest knife-producing city and home to some of its most recognisable brands. Known for producing high-quality double-bevel knives at accessible price points, Seki's makers combine modern manufacturing precision with deep craft traditions - making it the gateway to Japanese knife ownership for many cooks.

At Chef & a Knife, we stock knives from Seki's finest makers - including Shun, Kanetsune, and Misono - spanning entry-level workhorses to premium collector pieces.
