Kai Shun Seki Magoroku Red Wood Santoku 170mm (6.7")
The Kai Shun Seki Magoroku Red Wood Santoku 170 mm is a versatile kitchen knife with a minimalist Japanese design, long-lasting sharpness, and an accessible price. Robust and dependable, this knife easily handles heavy use without compromising edge retention or blade stability.
Its clean and simple design makes it perfect for beginners, home cooks, and professional kitchens, and it also makes a great gift. Even though it’s in the budget-friendly segment, its build quality and precise cutting performance rival much more expensive Western-style knives.
BLADE SHAPE:
A staple in Japanese kitchens, the Santoku is a multi-purpose knife with a wide, compact blade. Its design makes cutting, chopping, and dicing simple, providing excellent control for vegetables, fish, and meat.
STEEL:
The polished blade is made from newly developed corrosion-resistant 6A/1K6 steel, hardened to 58 (±1) HRC, offering a perfect balance of sharpness, edge retention, and easy maintenance. Its slightly curved spine ensures a secure grip for precise slicing and rocking motions.
BLADE FINISH:
The knife features a migaki polished finish with the series’ kanji engraving: Seki: 関, Mago: 孫, Roku: 六.
HANDLE:
The slim and elegant handle is made from durable pakkawood, shaped in the traditional Japanese chestnut (D-shape) design, and slightly offset to the right from the center of the blade, making it ideal for right-handed users. Resin added to the wood enhances moisture resistance and long-term durability. A small rim on the right side provides a secure and comfortable pinch-grip, preventing hand slippage during cutting. The integrated tang ensures stability and excellent balance for the knife.
SMITHY:
For over 115 years, KAI has combined centuries-old Japanese blacksmithing traditions with modern innovation, producing knives renowned for their precision, durability, and elegant design.
