KAI Seki Magoroku Red Wood
Here we have a fine tuning compared to the Wasabi Black series, but really a very fine one: The KAI Seki Magoroku Red Wood series is a chef's knife series in robust stainless steel quality, completed with a chestnut-shaped handle made of pakkawood.
The Seki Magoroku Red Wood Blade
The blade is typically sleek, sharp & stylish. We can certainly get more detailed: the blades are made of a stainless, mirror-polished carbon 1K6 steel with a hardness of about 58 HRC. Both double-edged and single-edged, the blades offer really good durability and truly appealing sharpness, of course, based on the steel used.
The Seki Magoroku Red Wood Handle
The chestnut-shaped handle is made of pakkawood. Pakkawood is already very robust. However, by adding high-quality resins, the handle becomes even more durable and resistant to liquids. The chestnut shape tapering towards the blade was chosen because this shape optimally adapts to the hand when cutting. The transition between the inserted blade and the handle is adorned with a polished polypropylene ferrule.
The Seki Magoroku Red Wood Blade Shapes
The range is packed with 11 blade shapes. European knife shapes such as the office, utility & chef's knife are offered. Fans of Japanese blade shapes also do not need to look at other series. In addition to the Santoku and the single-edged Usuba, the Seki Magoroku Red Wood series also includes two Yanagiba and a Deba knife.
The KAI Seki Magoroku Red Wood series is not particularly popular, more of an insider tip. That should change because the knives fit excellently in the hand and the cutting result is above average. A truly successful series for high demands, which also offers an impressive price-performance ratio.
Frequently Asked Questions about KAI Seki Magoroku Red Wood Knives
What distinguishes the KAI Seki Magoroku Red Wood knives?
These knives combine a sharp blade made of 1K6 stainless steel with an ergonomic handle made of red wood, which is particularly water-resistant due to its oil content. The traditional chestnut shape of the handle ensures comfortable handling.
How do I properly care for my KAI Seki Magoroku Red Wood knife?
Clean the knife with warm water after each use and dry it carefully. The wooden handle appreciates occasional care with vegetable oil. And please: the dishwasher is taboo!
What blade shapes are available in the Red Wood series?
The series offers a variety of blade shapes, including European ones like office, utility, and chef's knives, as well as Japanese ones like Santoku, Usuba, Yanagiba, and Deba. The right tool for every cut!
How do I best sharpen my KAI Seki Magoroku Red Wood knife?
To maintain sharpness, sharpening with ceramic-bonded whetstones is recommended. Electric sharpeners can also be used, but please with caution and expertise.
Are the KAI Seki Magoroku Red Wood knives suitable for left-handers?
Yes, many knives in this series are double-edged and thus equally suitable for left- and right-handers. However, for single-edged blades, attention should be paid to the orientation.
What does the hardness of 58±1 HRC mean for these knives?
The hardness of 58±1 HRC indicates that the blade offers a good balance between sharpness and edge retention. It is hard enough for precise cuts but not so hard that it becomes brittle.
