The KAI Seki Magoroku Imayou Small Santoku is a stylish, functional and affordable Japanese-made chef’s knife, best suited for home cooks who are comfortable honing regularly. It's ideal for slicing vegetables, fruits, and boneless proteins. The soft steel means you’ll need consistent care—but in return, you get an easy-to-sharpen, reliable everyday blade with a lovely hammered finish.

A beautiful hammered pattern with a sense of luxury. A series that uses a high-hardness blade body that maintains sharp sharpness for a long time through three-step sharpening. By smoothing the edges (corners) created after the blade attachment process by polishing, the cutting resistance to the food is reduced, the cutting becomes better, and sharpness is achieved.
