Blade: Unique technologies are applied in producing the blade of the Seki Magoroku Kinju and Hekiju knife series, making it possible to create the demanding, pointed cutting edges of traditional Japanese kitchen knives. They are ground on one side, which guarantees an optimal and straight cut. Maximum blade sharpness is achieved by the highly precise processing of the cutting edge.
Handle: In contrast to the dark handle of the Shun Classic series, the handle in the Japanese chestnut shape is made of ash-coloured pakka wood, which is particularly resistant to moisture due to the treatment with high-quality resins.
