To date I own about a dozen products from Seki City....making some of the finest blades/instruments on the planet for hundreds of years. From knives to straight razors to traditional double edged razors, nail clippers and scalpels. If it is made in Seki, you should take a look. Not just about where its made but how its made. GREAT pride and dedication to the art of blade making is apparent in all their products. Thank you.
