Description
The Kanekoma Seki EDC knife is a hand-forged masterpiece from one of Seki City's oldest bladesmiths. The Blue Paper #2 steel core is wrapped in soft iron cladding, creating a traditional san-mai construction. The 8cm blade takes an incredibly keen edge that experienced users sharpen to razor perfection.
**The Essential Blade**
There is a Japanese concept — mono no aware — an appreciation for the beauty in simplicity. This knife embodies it. Unfolded, it handles every daily cutting task with an edge so keen it seems to anticipate the cut before contact.
**San-Mai: Three Layers of Tradition**
The heart of this blade is Blue Paper #2 — Hitachi's legendary carbon steel prized by Japanese craftsmen. Wrapped in protective iron cladding, the san-mai construction shields the hard core while allowing the cutting edge to achieve extreme sharpness.
Looking After Your Blade
Keep your blade in top nick. Give it a rinse and dry after each use to stop corrosion. Every now and then, rub a thin coat of mineral oil along the blade. Sharpen with a whetstone or honing rod at a steady angle. Store it in a sheath, knife roll, or on a magnetic strip — never chucked loose in a drawer. For carbon and Damascus steel, give it a wipe after cutting acidic foods. For folding knives, clean out the pivot and pop a drop of lubricant in to keep it opening smoothly.
