Seki Magoroku Benifuji Utility Knife 15cm

Description

Benifuji is part of Kai's Seki Magoroku range of knives. Many celebrated swords were born in the Seki area during the Kamakura era. The master craftsman “Magoroku of Seki” harnessed the original techniques to produce swords of great quality, sharpness, strength and beauty.

Made in Japan, these knives have a full tang which makes them robust and eases hand fatigue. Constructed from AUS-8A stainless steel, each blade is subjected to a 3 chamfering processes. This special grinding process reduces the friction against food and blade and gives you a knife with an extremely sharp cutting edge.

Like others in the Kai family, the handle is made from hard wearing PakkaWood® which enables durability and comfort, as well as making it an attractive looking knife to have in your collection. 

The Benifuji Utility Knife is an extremely handy all purpose knife suited to general food preparation of smaller food items.

The utility knife is between a chefs knife and a paring knife, with a narrower and straighter blade. It's perfect for a multitude of small tasks where more precise cuts are needed, such as trimming broccoli, green beans, or other smaller vegetables. Its slightly curved belly enables it to do moderate rocking cuts.
