Kai Seki Shoso Utility Knife 15cm

To get Japanese knives with a modern design, you can opt for the Kai Seki Magoroku Shoso knife collection. The knives from this range break the preconceptions of look and design on a Japanese kitchen knife. With a solid and elegant structure, each Seki Magoroku Shoso knife is designed to make each of your cuts much easier and pleasant.

The utility knife in this page is one of the most polyvalent knives in the Seki Magoroku Shoso series. With its 15cm blade, this knife is perfect for cutting all types of fruits and vegetables. It falls somewhere between a big paring knife and a small chef knife. A polyvalent knife like this one is a must-have in every kitchen.

Its blade is made of 1K6 stainless steel, which is an alloy that has 0.8% of carbon content, thus allowing the blade to reach a hardness level of 58 HRC in the Rockwell scale. This hardness level enables an optimal balance between a blade that is easy to sharpen and an edge that remains sharp for longer time than standard blades. Moreover, thanks to its convex edge, this blade is suitable for both right and left-handed cooks.

The handle, which is made of stainless steel 18/8, has a cambered design that fits perfectly in the palm of the hand. Its hollowed surface ensures a safer grip as it helps to reduce the risk of the handle slipping out of your hand. With no welding or bolster between both parts, the handle is the perfect continuation of the blade.

You can always trust the great quality of Kai knives, and that is why we invite you to have a look at the rest of the Seki Magoroku Shoso collection here on MyChefKnives!
