SUNCRAFT

Seki, with a tradition of more than 700 years, is one of the oldest centers of Japanese blacksmithing, along with the Sakai and Tosa areas. The ideal conditions for this craft attracted many blacksmiths as early as the end of the 12th century. Among them was the legendary Motoshige. He was aware of the presence of quality iron ore sand, pine peat and the proximity of water sources. Everything a blacksmith needs for his job. By adding their craftsmanship, swords were created that quickly gained their reputation. The statement that the Seki blade never bends or breaks accompanies local products to this day.

Seki specializes in the fact that 40% of the local industry belongs to the cutlery. Many major manufacturers of well-known brands such as Masahiro, Kasumi, Mcusta-Zanmai, Hattori and many others are based here. Nippon Knives brings you another of them - SUNCRAFT.

Kawashima Industries, owner of the Suncraft brand, is one of the larger manufacturers in Seki. Since 1947 he specializes in knives and various other kitchen tools. The company's credo is to examine customer needs and respond flexibly. Significant investment in research and development helps to do this.

As is common in Japan, Kawashima Industries is a family-run company that alternates between generations. The company's founders are rightly proud of their ancestor, Mr. Senzo. He contributed with his own resources to the construction of public zones and facilities in the city of Seki. He always had respect for its inhabitants and their needs. The current owners hold the same respect for their customers. And not to forget the legacy of their ancestor, knives made by corporate craftsmen call Senzo.
