Manufacturer's description

About KAI

A manufacturer that sells mainly cutlery such as razors and kitchen knives, as well as cooking utensils and cosmetic tools. The number of high-quality knives is now extremely popular not only in Japan but also worldwide.

Inherited, the skill and spirit of the famous sword

Born from unique sword-making. Beauty like a work of art. Breathtaking, supreme sharpness.

The skill and spirit of the swordsmith 'Seki Magoroku' are inherited in modern cutlery making, fused with KAI's cutting-edge technology to deliver vivid sharpness.

Sharpening

Whether it cuts or not is a matter of human perception. In the manufacturing process, tasks such as checking the blade tip and sharpness are still performed by human eyes and hands in various places.

Seki Magoroku Kinju Honko series

Hagane composite material

A tough blade forged by combining hagane with iron. Achieves the sharpness and ease of sharpening characteristic of hagane.

By using high-hardness steel material with excellent wear resistance, you can experience exceptional sharpness for a long time.

Buffalo horn ferrule

A top-quality material with excellent strength, durability, and water resistance. Its property of tightening when absorbing water makes the blade less likely to come loose.

Wooden handle

Handle made of natural wood that fits comfortably in the hand

Urasuki of steel

Urasuki: The concave part on the back of the blade is called 'urasuki' (or 'hi').

Effect of urasuki

By making the blade tip thinner, good sharpness can be maintained.

When sharpening the side with urasuki, you can sharpen only the uraoshi part against the whetstone, so you can avoid unnecessary grinding and sharpen efficiently.

Wet flat front sharpening

Finishing sharpening by skilled craftsmen by hand

Enables delicate sharpening with a very fine whetstone.

To prevent the blade from softening due to frictional heat, water is applied during sharpening. Since the angle of the blade tip differs depending on the product, adjustment in single-degree units is required.
