Kai Seki Shoso Japanese Santoku Knife

For those who love and prefer Japanese-style knives, the Kai Seki Magoroku Shoso santoku knife is a great option to use instead of traditional Western chef knife. Indeed, this knife is truly versatile as it can be used for cutting a large range of foods: vegetables, fruits, meats, fish… It is a must-have in every kitchen!

The blade of this knife is made of 1K6 stainless steel. This steel alloy has 0.8% of carbon content, which enables the blade to reach a hardness level of 58 HRC in the Rockwell scale. This level of hardness allows the blade to remain sharp for longer time than standard blades. In addition, its convex edge makes this blade suitable for both left and right-handed cooks. 

As it is also made of stainless steel, the handle is the perfect continuation of the blade. With a cambered shape, the handle is designed to fit perfectly in the palm of your hand. The lack of a visible bolster between the blade and the handle results in a knife with a truly modern look.

This knife belongs to the Seki Magoroku Shoso collection, which is one of the newest knife ranges developed by the Japanese brand KAI. These knives combine the great quality of Japanese expertise and the elegance of a modern design with the blade and the handle both made of stainless steel.
