Material
The Shoso blade is forged from 5CR15MoV stainless steel with a hardness of 56 (±1) HRC, which guarantees a high and uniform level of hardness as well as long-lasting cutting durability. Their convex grind gives the knives a stable cutting edge - ideal for a clean and precise cut. The matt finish highlights the cool elegance of the knife.
The matt handle made of stainless 18-8 steel is particularly robust, and ensures professional handling thanks to its symmetrical elliptical shape. The integrated diamond pattern provides a secure and comfortable grip while cutting. The seamless transition from handle to blade emphasises the clearly defined lines of the knives.
The name of our premium brand Seki Magoroku goes back to a famous Japanese swordsmith from the city of Seki in the middle of the Muromachi period (around 1336-1573). Seki is regarded as the former centre of samurai swordsmithing and is today also the proud production site for our SHOSO solid steel knife series with 15 blade shapes. Here in Seki, the tradition of well-known master swordsmiths lives on: "Craftsmanship and the spirit of famous swords are passed on from generation to generation".
This year, KAI and Tim Mälzer are celebrating the 15th anniversary of their successful collaboration. To mark this significant milestone, we are releasing an extraordinary limited edition designed to set the hearts of cooking enthusiasts racing. The name of this anniversary knife, THE LEGEND, says it all.
With its Tantō blade, the knife establishes a direct connection to the legendary samurai of Japan. The traditional blacksmithing artistry of the Samurai continues to inform KAI knives today, combining the most modern and innovative techniques with a centuries-old tradition.
