Shāpu | Seki Knife Collection – Japanese Steel

Hammer-Finished AUS8 Stainless Steel: Shapu is made to last and cut with precision. It is hammer finished and crafted from AUS8 stainless steel, so it stays strong and doesn’t rust easily. It’s made using traditional Japanese methods, showing great skill and care. Whether you’re slicing gently or chopping tough ingredients, this versatile knife is perfect for any kitchen task. Try it out for yourself and see the difference.

Embossing & Blacksmith’s Finish: Our knife combines traditional and modern techniques, featuring Embossing and Blacksmith’s Finish, known as kurouchi in Japanese. This finish retains the black scaly residue from the forging process, giving the blade a traditional look with rustic charm. As the knife is exposed to heat and flames during forging, the iron oxidises and turns black, minimising reactivity and reducing the risk of corrosion. This robust and organic appearance also helps prevent food from sticking to the blade. Over time, the knife develops a unique character or patina, enhancing its quality and resilience.

Oak Handle With Maple Ferrule: The Shapu knife handle is made from sturdy oak with maple ferrule, giving it strength, a comfortable grip, and a timeless look. It’s carefully crafted to give you precise control, making cutting easy and enjoyable.
