Seki Edge:The story of Seki Edge begins back in the 13th century in Seki City, a small city in the central mountains of Japan. Due to its rich natural resources, abundant materials, and ideal conditions such as pine charcoal for kilns, blade soil, good quality water, and a water transport system, a master swordsmith named Motoshige chose Seki as the ideal place to produce samurai swords for the region.
Over a century later, sword making became so dominate in Seki that there were over 300 sword smiths working in the region, which quickly developed a reputation for producing the highest quality swords in the world. The secret to the success of the Seki swords was the fact that they had to pass very strict and rigorous quality standards and the swords design contained a unique and innovative four corner edge. This superior edging technique provided users an exceptional sharp edge and long lasting performance.
While sword making is no longer being practiced in Seki, the descendants of the sword making craftsmen are expanding upon their sword-making skills and techniques by incorporating modern manufacturing technologies and materials to today’s cutlery and razor edge tools. Mr. Kiyoshi Ishida, the founder of Green Bell and the sole manufacturer of Seki Edge products, is a descendant of these ancient artisans.
This rich heritage and reputation for high quality is behind every Seki Edge beauty and grooming tool. The Seki Edge name is a guarantee superior quality and performance. Seki Edge separates itself from other implements in the marketplace by embracing its long history of Japanese skill and craftsmanship, while incorporating modern technology, the benefits of ergonomic design, and their flare for fashion and style in every Seki Edge tool made.
Today, new items that are innovative in function and design are being developed at an unprecedented rate. Seki Edge continues to look toward the future to provide consumers with the opportunity to experience the Seki Edge.
