Dscription

Crafted in Seki City, the heart of Japan’s stainless knife production, the Seki Magoroku Kasumi Gyuto is built for chefs who value precision, control, and ease of care.

The molybdenum-vanadium stainless steel delivers a fine-grained, rust-resistant edge that sharpens easily and holds its bite through daily prep.

At 180 mm, it’s a versatile size — compact enough for tight spaces yet long enough to handle full-protein work and produce prep with Japanese efficiency. The Western-style handle offers a secure, balanced grip, making this knife a seamless transition for chefs coming from European blades.

Performance

The thin grind and balanced 50/50 edge give this gyuto excellent glide through food with minimal resistance. The kasumi-style finish resists sticking and looks sharp on the board — this is a reliable, well-built workhorse for everyday use.

Care Notes

Fully stainless construction: hand wash, dry thoroughly, and store safely. Avoid dishwashers to preserve the edge and handle integrity.

A quick touch-up on a ceramic rod or fine whetstone keeps the edge razor-sharp.
