The Seki Magoroku Redwood Series by KAI is a robust line of kitchen knives with typical Japanese characteristics. Featuring highly polished blades, it offers both single-sided and double-sided ground edges designed for balanced functionality and sharpness. The series design combines minimalist shapes with traditional Japanese aesthetics. The blades of the Seki Magoroku Redwood Series are crafted from high-quality Carbon 1K6 stainless steel with a hardness of 57 (±1) HRC. Both the double-sided and single-sided ground blade shapes are known for their long-lasting edge retention and excellent sharpness. The single-sided hollow grind, traditional in Japanese blade shapes, minimizes friction between the cutting material and the blade, allowing for extremely precise cuts, ideal for tasks such as sushi preparation. The knives feature handles designed in the traditional chestnut shape and are made of robust Pakkaholz wood. The wood is treated with high-quality resins, making it particularly resistant to stress and moisture. The tapered handle towards the blade provides a comfortable grip. The handle and blade are securely connected by a glossy black plastic ferrule. With the Seki Magoroku Redwood Series, you not only get high-quality sharpness and performance in your kitchen but also an elegant design with traditional flair.
