Kanetsune Seki have created this series using DSR-1K6 high carbon stainless steel. The blade finish , "Tsuchime", is a Japanese-style hammer finish and helps to release foods quickly from the blade while cutting, making the meal-prep process quicker and more efficient.
This manufacturer is located at Seki City, known to be the City of Blades. The underground method in Japanese sword-making called “Seki-den” which started some 800 years back has been handed down to this present day. One of Japan’s supreme master craftsmen, Kanetsune Seki was able to conserve this method and employ it in all of his knives.
I was dowling joints and the clean cut drill bits make such effortless and clean work of the end-grain holes!!! Wouldn’t use anything else and have recommended them to others.
A rare piece, both for aesthetic appreciation and use. Very solidly made yet refine, elegant and artistic kiridashi. The damascus mokume is really very beautiful.
I had to immediately buy another of these little gems for its original purpose when I unboxed my first one. It’s quite simply the best makeup ‘pouch’ I’ve ever had. Its the perfect size to carry everything and, unlike squishy pouches protect it all, too - and the red is, as always, stunning.

Cool retro tool box
I bought this to use for Pro Chef tools. I like that it has a small footprint, the lid is held on a 45 angle and the look of the box is a point of difference. Homemade sayas (blade covers) are the key making this work, pics show all the tools I usually take to work with room for a few more (sometimes take a Deba too). My only complaint is that my 300mm yanangiba and long bread knife don't quite fit, if Toyo ever makes a slightly longer version I'll be all over it...

Dandelion Samurai
My new Hori Hori has been brilliant in helping me do battle with the seemingly endless dandelions that had taken over the large front lawn of my friends half acre property. It slices through the plants deep underground allowing easy removal of leaves and flowers. There is no divot in the lawn afterwards ensuring a perfect finish. A once a week removal of any emerging plants is quick, easy and fun! I am now the ninja of my garden!
