KAI Seki Magoroku Red Wood Yanagiba 21 cm - Carbon 1K6 steel blade - Pakkawood handle

The medium Seki Magoroku Red Wood Yanagiba features a 21 cm long blade made of stainless carbon 1K6 steel with a hardness of approximately 58 HRC. The polished blade has a single-sided hollow grind that minimizes friction between the cutting material and the blade. This allows for particularly precise cuts, as required, for example, in the preparation of sushi. Therefore, the Yanagiba is the preferred knife for filleting tasks in Asian cuisine, serving as the counterpart to the European meat, filleting, or ham knife.

Traditionally designed in a chestnut shape, the handle is made of pakkawood. Due to high-quality resins added to the wood, the handle is particularly durable and more resistant to liquids. A ferrule made of glossy black plastic connects the handle, which tapers narrowly towards the blade, with the inserted blade. The lightweight handle creates a nice balance with the blade, enabling effortless cutting.

The Seki Magoroku Red Wood series presents itself in a minimalist basic form. Combined with Japanese aesthetics, the knives are more than visually appealing. In practice, the knives even surpass the first impression. Another example of the famous Japanese knife craftsmanship.
