MGR.165.U Usuba Kai Seki Magoroku Japanese knife

Usuba knife from the Kai Seki Magoroku range

Traditional Japanese knife produced for centuries in Seki, Japan under the same aspect. 
Thanks to its 16.5 cm blade it is perfect for slicing vegetables and meat on a wooden board.

Forged from Molybdenum Vanadium 1 K6 stainless steel, with a carbon content of 0.8% and a Rockwell hardness of 58 +/- 1, the blade offers great strength and an irreproachable cutting performance.
This cutting resistance - achieved by a new Kai-specific three-stage slow-speed sharpening process - considerably reduces friction between the blade and the product and allows better cutting of food.
The handle is made of Pakkawood, a hardwood and oleaginous wood which guarantees an irreproachable water resistance, black polypoprylene ferrule.

Important: not dishwasher safe

Blade length: 16,5 cm
Total length: 29.9 cm
