Seki Ryū (関竜) – Santoku, the Knife of Three Virtues
A tradition from Seki, birthplace of the samurai sword
In Japan, the city of Seki (関) has been the beating heart of sword forging for centuries. It was here that the legendary samurai katanas (刀), symbols of honor and perfection, were created. Over time, this art was passed down into Japanese kitchen knives, which still embody the same pursuit of precision and excellence.
