Seki Magoroku Kujaku Gyuto Knife 300mm
Renowned for its exceptional sharpness, this knife is crafted with precision by skilled artisans. The blade features a wet grinding technique using ultra-fine whetstones, allowing for delicate and precise sharpening. This process, performed with water, prevents heat friction and preserves the blade's hardness. Made from single-layer stainless steel, it resists rust and is easy to maintain, ensuring long-lasting performance.
The seamless welded bolster enhances hygiene by preventing the accumulation of moisture and debris, while the layered reinforced wood handle offers a comfortable grip and excellent weight balance with a full-tang design. After use, clean and dry the knife thoroughly to maintain its quality, as leaving moisture or dirt on the blade may cause rust or discoloration.
This versatile knife is designed for both right-handed and left-handed users, making it suitable for everyone.

Knife Care Instructions
After each use, clean the knife with a sponge and mild detergent to remove any dirt or residue. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely with a soft, dry cloth. Store the knife in a well-ventilated, low-humidity area to prevent moisture-related damage and ensure its longevity.
Sharpening and Maintenance
Even the finest blades require proper maintenance at the right time to retain their performance. If your knife crushes ripe tomatoes instead of slicing cleanly or slips when cutting chicken, it’s a clear sign that it needs sharpening.
