Unique technologies are applied in producing the blade of the Seki Magoroku Kinju and Hekiju knife series, making it possible to create the demanding, pointed cutting edges of traditional Japanese kitchen knives. They are ground on one side, which guarantees an optimal and straight cut. Maximum blade sharpness is achieved by the highly precise processing of the cutting edge.
The handles of the Seki Magoroku Kinju and Hekiju series differ in shape and material. The hexagonal handle of Kinju knives is made of laminated, reinforced wood for a comfortable feel when cutting. The handle is extremely water-resistant, thanks to the use of high-quality natural wood which is treated by a special process. The handle of the Hekiju knife, developed for left-handers, is more rounded than that of the Kinju series and consists of a robust resin with leather-type embossing.

VG MAX steel with a hardness of 61 (±1) HRC forms the entire blade's core right up to its edge. Sheathed in 32 layers of Damascus steel, the knife embodies a peerless anatomy paired with a resilient blade that is both hard and flexible at once due to its hybrid composition. The Shun Classic blades have a double-sided edge.
The slim handle made of durable pakkawood is fashioned in a traditional Japanese chestnut shape. High quality resins added to the wood make the material particularly resilient and resistant to moisture. Its typical chestnut shape ensures a comfortable and secure grip whilst cutting, thanks to a small rim on its right side. The integrated tang boosts stability and balance.
