A good chef's knife is where most proper knife collections begin. This user-friendly knife in a classic shape will assist with all your basic food preparation tasks, such as slicing and chopping. A good chef's knife can completely change the feel of cooking.
The blade of the Seki Magoroku Redwood series is made from 1K6 high-carbon stainless steel with a hardness of 57 (±1) HRC (a knife with a hardness above 56 HRC is considered good). It features long-lasting edge retention and exceptional sharpness. The single-sided sharpening traditionally used for Japanese knives minimizes friction between the blade and the material being cut, offering the precision required in cutting.
The blade length is 20 cm.
The handle with the traditional chestnut shape is made from pakkawood. The high-quality resin added to the wood makes the material particularly durable, moisture-resistant, and comfortable to hold.
The handle length is 13.5 cm.
It is recommended to make cuts on wooden or plastic cutting surfaces. Glass, stone, and marble cutting surfaces are unsuitable as they can cause permanent damage to the knife blades.
Wash the knife with warm water before using it for the first time. After each use, make sure to wash the knife without delay (with a simple detergent) and dry it with a soft cloth. Especially if you have cut acidic foods, you must wash the knife immediately after use.
For your safety, you should always wipe the knife away from your body and away from the edge, with a cloth or towel.
It is not recommended to wash it in the dishwasher but by hand, in order to protect its material and maintain its sharpness for a long time.
No matter how sharp a knife is initially, after some use it needs sharpening, something you can achieve with a sharpener, whetstone, or honing rod.
You can determine if your knife cuts well with an easy test using the knife and a sheet of paper. A sharp knife can easily and cleanly cut a sheet of paper. Conversely, a knife that needs sharpening will struggle and the cut will be jagged.
It is also recommended to occasionally have your knives sharpened by a professional to repair any potential damage to the blade's edge and to maintain its sharpness.
