The blades of the Seki Magoroku Redwood Series are made of a carbon 1K6 stainless steel with a hardness of 57 (±1) HRC. The single and the double bevel blade shape convince with long-lasting edge retention and excellent sharpness. The traditional single-sided grinding of Japanese blades minimises friction between the blade and the cut material, enabling particulary precise cuts, for the preparation of sushi, for instance.
The handle with its traditional chestnut shape is made of pakkawood. High-quality resins added to the wood make the material exceptionally resilient and moisture-resistant. The handle narrows down towards the blade and sits comfortably in the hand. Handle and blade are inserted into each other and firmly connected by a shiny black plastic ferrule.
