About Seki Kanetsugu Zuiun - Seki Kanetsugu is a knife maker in Seki, whose ancestor was a famous swordsmith Kanetsugu (1336-1392). The company itself was founded in 1918 and celebrated their 100 year anniversary in 2018. To celebrate their 100th year, they launched this knife line called “Zuiun”. This beautiful piece is made with SG2 with 62 layers of stainless Damascus outside. The blade is sharpened very thin and the taper is beautiful. Heptagon shaped handle is made with pakka wood for its strength. Although this is considered to be a machine-forged knife, it is perhaps at the highest level.

About the Shape - Inspired by the profile of a traditional European chef knife and the badass tip of a Kiritsuke (Traditionally a single bevel knife), double bevel Kiritsukes are a multi-purpose knife with a slight meat cutting bias. If you want one knife to do it all, and look cooler than your buddy, this is your knife. For the at-home or professional cook, we recommend a Kiritsuke which measures between 210mm and 240mm long.

Stainless steel is super handy because it doesn’t rust or stain easily like carbon steel. That said, remember it is stain-less, not stain-never. While it is much easier to care for than high-carbon steel, it does benefit from proper use: use it, wash it, dry it and put it away. Always avoid the dishwasher!

USE  

• Only cut food you can bite through with this knife. Hard foods can chip the blade. No olive pits, bones,  lobster shells, woody stems or parmesan rinds. Cutting frozen food is especially bad  because the cold will make hard steel even more brittle. If you wouldn’t chew it with  your own teeth, don’t cut it.  

• Your cutting surface is the biggest culprit of dulling your knife. Use wood. End  grain wood is especially good. Plastic can be fine too, but certainly not glass,  granite or bamboo. 

• The edge of your knife works best sliding forwards or backwards. Scraping the  knife edge sideways will dull or damage the edge. Instead, use the spine of the knife to move foods across the cutting board. Do not twist the edge or pry with the edge, this is the worst screwdriver you ever bought and these motions will certainly  damage the edge. Listen to the knife! If you can hear the edge making a “tink”  sound on the cutting board, change what you are doing.  

CLEANING  

• After use, wash the knife by hand with regular dish soap, rinse with hot water  and dry by hand immediately. Dishwashers are very bad for knives.  

• Wood handles may dry out over time and exposure to water. Simply treat them  with some food safe wax.

STORING  

• Protect the edge for your safety and to avoid edge damage. A simple blade cover  will do the trick if you keep knives in a drawer or in a travel case.  

• The convenient wall magnet made with wood is a great way to show off your knives.  Be sure to put it back spine first, then roll it onto the blade face. This will keep the  edge from contacting the wood first.  

• The good ol’ counter top block can keep knives at the ready and protected, so  can drawer inserts. Whatever the method, it should keep the edge from touching  anything else.

Reviews

like wielding a light-saber

"Prior to this I was using a Shun 8" chefs knife (go to) and a german-steel variety (punishing jobs) This knife feels like about half the weight of the Shun, it's very nimble and goes where you point it, doing what you tell it. What struck me was how light it was, but I got over that quickly and have come to delight in how effortless my prep is now. It maneuvers like a paring knife but does the big jobs. I do have to pay extra careful attention and use the larger of my cutting boards. This is a hungry knife, eager to punish split attention."

Industrial look is bonus

"Customer services is a bonus to their top line products! Highly recommend. Definitely a good investment that will make your cooking that much enjoyable, and guaranteed for lifetime."

— Mengdie H. (5/5)

A work of functional art. . . . . . .

"This knife is absolutely gorgeous. The Fit & Finish are beautiful and the edge is very sharp right out of the box. The only thing keeping this from being a 5 star review is the balance. This knife is quite blade heavy. If you are only doing a bit of chopping it is lovely to work with, but I suspect if you had to use it for any length of time the front loaded weight would become tiring."

— Thomas F. (4/5)

THE place to go for a perfect knife or guidance in purchasing a knife!

"This is the second knife I have purchased from Knifewear and I am SO happy I found this great store. My first knife is 8 years old and I returned with it for it to be sharpened. I purchased the second knife, as a gift, for my son and he is thrilled with it. They are so knowledgeable and super friendly. I HIGHLY recommend Knifewear in Inglewood, Calgary."

Kiritsuke Gyuto - Gyuto w/ K-Tip

"This double-beveled Gyuto-style Kiritsuke (or Gyuto with K-Tip) is a great hybrid: the first half of the blade is completely flat, and then with a slight curve like a Gyuto (though far from a traditional Gyuoto or Chef's knife that I would not rock-chop with it)."

— Jason (5/5)

Q&A

Could you tell me the blade width/height at the heel for the 210mm and 180mm versions? Thanks
Hey there, I just grabbed all that for you. They are both 45mm at the heel. The bunka is 146g and the Kiritsuke is 162g. Let me know if you'd like any other information! - Ellie
I have seen this exact same knife elsewhere advertised as having the saya (sheath) included, but it is not noted here. Does the version sold here include this, or is available separately?
Hi there, unfortunately the ones we have available do not come with a saya and we do not have any available for them.
