Seki Kanetsugu was founded in 1918 by Matsujiro Kawamura, descendant of the famous swordsmith Kanetsugu, who worked during Nanboku-cho period. The Zuiun line was made for the 100th anniversary of the company and features an R2(SG2) steel core, with a stainless damascus cladding, and a heptagonal (7-sided) handle made from pakka, which I find fantastically comfortable and unique, and especially good for the finger on the spine technique which I like to use for intricate slicing tasks. The blades are quite thin at 1-1.5 mm spines in this line and feature a very mild convex grind, helping a great deal with food release.
The Kiritsuke is to the gyuto what the bunka is to the santoku. With a flatter profile and more aggressive tip this knife will excel at push cutting, chopping, slicing, and intricate tip work tasks. Not to say that you can't rock over bunches of herbs or shallots, but if you consistently rock this might not be the knife for you. But if you're a push cutter/chopper you will absolutely love this knife!
