About the manufacturer:

“SATAKE CUTLERY MFG. Co., Ltd.” was established in 1947 in Seki city. The company’s goal is to produce reliable and durable kitchen tools and “”SATAKE CUTLERY MFG. Co., Ltd.” continues its mission – adhering to the highest quality standards, it creates and produces the most advanced models of kitchen knives by combining long-standing forging traditions with modern technologies. Japanese kitchen knives, carefully crafted by skilled masters, are the result of their passion for their work. And Seki city, where the factory is located, is known for its unique and traditional forging methods with a history of over 700 years.

It began in the Kamakura era (1185-1333) when the famous swordsmith Motoshige moved to Seki and started forging his swords and teaching others the craft. The surroundings of Seki were surrounded by large pine forests, where blacksmiths could obtain the necessary charcoal, and it had suitable water, making Seki city a suitable place for sword production. Over time, the number of masters grew, and more than 300 blacksmiths lived and produced the best samurai swords during the Muromachi era (1336-1573). Then Seki city flourished as a center for samurai sword production and became known throughout Japan.

After the prohibition act “Haitorei” of swords during the Meiji period (1876), the demand for swords significantly decreased. However, the masters applied their refined 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 manufacturing areas in the world. Kitchen knives produced here occupy more than 50% of the Japanese market and are valued for the highest quality standards.
