Seki Magoroku Red Wood Deba

This great kitchen knife from KAI is the perfect choice for anyone who needs a robust filleting knife and has a penchant for Japanese cuisine. The KAI Seki Magoroku Red Wood Deba is the perfect combination of state-of-the-art technology and traditional craftsmanship. The painstakingly crafted chef's knife is made in the KAI manufactory in Japan. Once again, the cult manufacturer in the chef's knife sector has managed to strike a balance between elegance, functionality and tradition.

With its 15.5 cm blade, the Deba cuts up fish, chicken and, of course, vegetables of all kinds. The heavy yet precisely crafted blade makes it easy to cut bones, cartilage and even small chicken bones. The thin cutting edge of the single-edged blade also allows very fine cuts to be made, which is particularly advantageous when preparing sashimi or sushi.

To ensure that the chic Japanese chef's knife can be used at any time and without much maintenance, the blade is made of 1K6 stainless steel, which is rust-resistant and easy to resharpen. The characters of the Seki Magoroku series can be found in the body of the blade, near the black blade ferrule. The aforementioned ferrule is made of plastic and leads into the beautifully crafted handle.

This handle is a visual highlight and also shines on a functional level. Redwood is a resin-rich wood that is naturally oily and water-resistant. This makes the handle particularly robust and durable, even with frequent use in the kitchen. The warm, natural grain of the wood also gives the knife an elegant and traditional look.

Care tip: Knives with a natural wood handle. Here you should make sure that they are not left in water for too long and are not suitable for the dishwasher. The handle of the knife can occasionally be treated with a vegetable oil, such as linseed oil or coconut oil.
