KANETSUNE
Kanetsune from Seki Japan have been forging steel under the brand Kitasho co. since 1948. The name Kanetsune originates from the revered 14-15th century backsmith Kanetsune. His Samurai blades (the Katana) were the finest in all of Japan and you can still see an example of his swords in the Katana musuem in Seki. That same knowledge has been transferred to a World Class range of kitchen knives still made in Seki - The no.1 Knife producing city in Japan
