What characterises the SEKI MAGOROKU KANAME series?
The SEKI MAGOROKU KANAME is the high-end offering of the Seki Magoroku line: its 3-layer blade combines a VG-XEOS steel core (60-62 HRC) with two outer layers of stainless steel, delivering exceptional hardness and lasting edge retention. The satin finish with polished cutting edge, octagonal black PakkaWood handle and Kiritsuke shape make it a precise, elegant tool, crafted in Seki, Japan.
Who is this series recommended for?
It is designed for professionals and advanced enthusiasts seeking a high-performance knife with refined aesthetics and uncompromising build quality.
What is the ideal use?
The Kiritsuke shape, with its tapered profile and thin blade (1.3–1.5 mm), is ideal for slicing, chopping and filleting with surgical precision, minimising cutting resistance.
How should it be properly maintained?
Hand wash only. To preserve the edge over time, use a fine-grained sharpening stone (at least #3000 grit). Store on a magnetic knife holder or in a protective sheath.
