This Kai knife is part of the Seki Magoroku range of knives. Many celebrated swords were born in the Seki area and in the Kamakura era. The master craftsman “Magoroku of Seki” had the original technique producing beautiful swords which were high quality and had outstanding sharpness.

This premium Seki Magoroku KK Yanagiba Japanese slicing knife is distinguished by its pure form and the octagonal, black matt handle made of pakka wood. A yanagiba knife (or "willow blade") has a heavier blade and thicker spine, which helps to glide through food from hilt to tip, thinly slicing fish and maintaining moisture in your chosen cut of boneless meat.

The yanagiba's one-side bevelled blade is made of high carbon stainless steel and is decorated with a soft, wavy line as a satin finish. The extremely long blade shape enables wafer-thin, precise cuts.

The KK series combines robust quality with simple functionality.

Perfect for aspiring and professional sashimi chefs.
