KAI Shun Seki Magoroku Pakka Wood Yanagiba Slicing Knife, 21cm

Yanagiba is Japanese for willow leaf blade. This knife is traditionally used in Japan as a slicing knife. Its slim blade makes it suitable for wafer-thin slicing, while its length allows for a continuous cutting movement. The KAI Seki Magoroku Pakka Wood Series includes 12 different blade shapes. The high-quality steel with a hardness of 58 HRC and the finely polished blade edge give the knives a high cutting performance. The handle is made of Pakka wood — a dark hardwood, which is very oily and water resistant. It has a traditional chestnut shape. A polished black polypropylene ferrule complements the modern look of the wood.
