Descrizione
Discover the art of knife-making in Seki on a private tour from Nagoya. Finish your own Damascus knife, enjoy a Japanese lunch, and visit the Seki Traditional Swordsmith Museum.
Meet your English-speaking guide at Nagoya Station and travel by private vehicle directly to Seki. There is no need to navigate local trains, buses, or transfers, allowing you to enjoy the experience comfortably from beginning to end.
At G.SAKAI Knife Museum, meet an experienced master craftsman with over 50 years of knife-making expertise. Begin by choosing the knife style that best suits your cooking needs: Santoku, Gyuto, Nakiri, or Bunka.
Your Damascus knife blade is prepared in advance so that you can take part in the essential finishing stages under professional supervision. Depending on the knife and workshop conditions, these may include shaping, polishing, sharpening, finishing the blade, and engraving your name.
Feel the blade gradually transform as you work. After the final sharpening and polishing stages, test its sharpness and experience the precision for which Seki knives are known. Your finished knife is a practical kitchen tool designed to be used for many years—not simply a decorative souvenir.
Take your personally engraved Damascus kitchen knife home with you on the same day, together with a certificate commemorating your experience.
After the workshop, enjoy a Japanese lunch prepared with local ingredients. Continue to the Seki Traditional Swordsmith Museum, where you will learn how the skills once used to make samurai swords developed into the modern cutlery industry for which Seki is respected today.
You will also have time to view or shop for locally made knives before returning to Nagoya in your private vehicle.
