About Nikken Cutlery (Seki, Japan)
Nikken Cutlery Co., Ltd. is a Japanese cutlery maker based in Seki City, Gifu Prefecture—a place internationally known for its long-standing blade-making tradition. Established in November 1971, Nikken has built its reputation around practical, everyday tools that deliver dependable sharpness and clean cutting performance.
While the company is widely recognized for producing scissors, nail clippers, and letter openers, Nikken also develops kitchen cutlery, bringing the same focus on precision and usability into the kitchen. A key strength of the brand is its in-house production capability, which supports both Nikken’s own product lines and OEM manufacturing—an approach that allows them to maintain consistent quality standards from design through finishing.
Nikken products reflect a balance of function and Japanese craftsmanship: tools designed to work smoothly in real kitchens, with the kind of attention to detail you’d expect from a Seki-based maker. If you’re looking for Japanese knives with a straightforward, performance-first character—made by a manufacturer rooted in one of Japan’s most respected cutlery regions—Nikken is a name worth knowing.
