Kai Seki Magoroku Momoyama Gyuto 180mm #000AE5148

The Seki Magoroku Momoyama Gyuto 180mm is a popular Japanese kitchen knife known for its craftsmanship, design, and practicality. Originating from the Seki region in Japan—one of the country's most renowned knife-making areas—this gyuto knife merges traditional Japanese aesthetics with efficient functionality for modern kitchens.

Key Features:

1. Blade Material: Often made from high-carbon stainless steel, providing an ideal balance between sharpness and durability. The high carbon content makes it easier to sharpen and maintain a fine edge, while stainless steel ensures resistance to rust and stains.

2. Blade Shape and Size: At 180mm (about 7 inches), this gyuto is a medium-sized, multipurpose chef's knife. The shape typically has a gentle curve from heel to tip, allowing for smooth rocking cuts, slicing, and dicing.

3. Handle Design: Traditional Japanese-style handles are common in this range. These handles are lightweight, giving a comfortable grip and excellent control.

4. Edge Geometry: The knife typically has a double-beveled edge, making it suitable for both right and left-handed users. The edge angle is usually finer than Western knives, contributing to a sharper cut.

5. Aesthetic Details: The "Momoyama" refers to the era known for intricate art and architecture, and many knives in this series have subtle aesthetic element.

Product Feature: A composite three-layer steel that makes use of the properties of steel and stainless steel to create an authentic Japanese knife.
