Already awarded with numerous design awards, the Seki Magoroku Composite series is the flagship of Kai's modern design.
This series combines lightness with dynamism: the blade composed of two grades of steel (composite in English) is crossed by an exposed copper brazing cord. The steel grades are made separately so that they can be bonded together with liquid copper in a subsequent processing step. The aesthetic result is extraordinary and makes this blade a jewel of Japanese forging. The light wooden handle makes this series futuristic, light and of an exclusive refinement. The knives guarantee absolute sharpness and extraordinary cutting performance. The blade combines different surfaces and qualities of steel: the polished and beveled goiter passes over the satin-finished and rounded back of the SUS420J2 steel blade to end with an edge made of particularly hard VG-MAX steel.
These symmetrically sharpened blades combine a Minimalist aesthetics with high cutting performance and excellent corrosion resistance characteristics. The light handle with transversal mottled pakka wood is inserted seamlessly onto the through tang and, thanks to its symmetrical shape, is suitable for both right-handed and left-handed people. Slim and light, it is agile and dynamic to hold. The seamless transition from the handle to the polished goiter allows for a comfortable and easy grip of the blade with thumb and forefinger.
