Kai diverts from the status quo and introduces the Seki Magoroku Shoso: a collection of kitchen knives that clearly distinguishes itself from other Kai collections with its modern design.
KAI SEKI MAGOROKU SHOSO While the previous Kai collections were enhanced with handles made from wood or plastic these Shoso’s are completely forged from stainless steel. The blade seamlessly merges with the handle. In addition, the ergonomically-shaped handles are enhanced with small diamond-shaped cut-outs that offer you extra grip when you use the knife. Characterizing for Japanese knives, and thus also for this collection, is the thin blade and the light handle. This combination ensures that the knives are balanced. The knives from the collection have a convex grind. This reduces friction between the food that is cut and the blade. Talking about the blade, it is made from Japanese 1K6 stainless steel with a hardness of 58 HRC. This top-quality steel ensures that the knife remains sharp for a long time. This, however, doesn’t mean that you have to wait until the knives are blunt before you can sharpen them. After all, sharpening will extend the life of your knives!
