Questions & Comments

Hi again my friend.

Superb Auction.☺ W ★ Watching Ô¿Ô

I know this knife and it is a real jewel, being this one is from Seki Japan, which is very famous worldwide for its production of fine knives just like Solingen in Germany.

Here's a bit of history for anyone who might be interested:

The history of Seki knife makers dates back to the 13th century.

They chose Seki because of its good iron, sand, charcoal and water.

The superior quality of knives & swords made in Seki were quickly recognized throughout Japan and its solid reputation as a knife & sword making center was established.

The techniques and skills and the ancient attitudes of traditional Japanese knife & sword making has been passed down across the centuries and are still alive in today.
