About the manufacturer:
“”SATAKE CUTLERY MFG. Co., Ltd.” was founded in 1947 in Seki City. The company’s goal is to produce reliable and durable kitchen tools, continuing its mission by adhering to the highest quality standards, by creating and manufacturing the most advanced kitchen knife models by combining long-standing forging traditions with modern technologies. Japanese kitchen knives meticulously crafted by skilled masters – their passion for their work is the result. And Seki City, where the factory is located, is famous for its unique and traditional forging methods with a history of more than 700 years.

It started in the Kamakura era (1185-1333) when the famous swordsmith Motoshige moved to Seki and began forging his swords and teaching others the craft. Surrounding Seki were large pine forests where blacksmiths could obtain the charcoal they needed, and there was also suitable water, making Seki City a suitable place for sword production. Over time, the number of masters grew, and more than 300 blacksmiths lived here and produced the finest samurai swords during the Muromachi era (1336-1573). Then Seki City prospered as a center of samurai sword production and became known throughout Japan.

After the “Haitorei” decree banning swords in the Meiji era (1876), demand for swords significantly decreased, but the masters applied their perfected forging skills to the production of knives and agricultural tools. Even now, Seki City and its surroundings are known as one of the most famous knife-making areas in the world. Kitchen knives made here occupy more than 50% of the Japanese market and are valued for the highest quality standards.”
