Product Info
Having received the Red Dot Design Award in 2013, the Seki Magoroku Composite Series is the symbol of contemporary design expertise from Kai. The series combines dynamism and lightness with a composite blade of two steel grades, laminated and bonded using copper solder.
This results in a stunning flash of copper running along the blade length that turns the blade into a highlight of high-tech engineering. In combination with the pale wooden handle, the knives are futuristic, light, and sophisticated. And most importantly, the knives ensure ultimate sharpness and extraordinary overall performance.
- Japanese Santoku chef's knife for use with fish, meat and vegetables
- Blade combines different textures and grades of steel
- A chamfered, polished bolster merges into the rounded blade back made of SUS420J2 steel
- Made of especially hard VG-MAX steel, the cutting edge has high edge retention and corrosion resistance
- A fair, cross-grained Pakkawood handle is seamlessly attached to the integrated tang, which is suitable for both left- and right-handed users due to its symmetrical shape
- The handle is slim and light, giving it top-heavy and dynamic handling characteristics
- The seamless transition from handle to polished bolster enables the comfortable and easy holding of the blade between thumb and forefinger in a pinch grip
