The Set

Seki Magoroku is one of Japan's most storied knife-making names, rooted in the Seki region - Japan's blade capital. This three-piece set covers the essential cuts of Japanese cuisine: the yanagiba for slicing sashimi with a single clean draw, the usuba for paper-thin vegetable work, and the deba for breaking down whole fish with authority. Single-bevel geometry means each blade is ground to one side only, delivering the kind of edge precision that double-bevel knives simply cannot replicate. The magnolia wood handles with buffalo horn collars are classic wa-style - lightweight, balanced, and built to be re-handled if ever needed. Carbon steel takes a sharper edge than stainless and rewards those who maintain it - this set is for the cook who understands that relationship.

Care and Maintenance

• Hand wash only - never dishwasher
• Dry immediately after washing to prevent rust
• Apply a light coat of food-safe oil if storing long-term
• Hone regularly on a whetstone - no honing rod for single-bevel blades
• Sharpen on a whetstone; professional sharpening recommended for single-bevel geometry
• Store on a magnetic strip or in a knife roll - never loose in a drawer
