Three complementary knives for total kitchen versatility
The Kai Seki Magoroku Shoso set brings together three carefully selected knives to cover all essential everyday cuts. Each model has been designed for a specific use, while retaining the same quality of manufacture, balance and ergonomics.
The 12 cm paring knife is designed for precision work. Its short, handy blade makes it easy to peel, turn or cut small fruits and vegetables. It's ideal for fast, precise gestures, when control and finesse are essential.
The 15 cm universal knife is the perfect intermediary between the paring knife and the chef's knife. Its versatility makes it equally at home cutting vegetables, boneless meats or fish. It is particularly appreciated for its maneuverability and ability to handle a wide variety of tasks without changing tools.
The 18 cm chef's knife is the most versatile model in the set. A true mainstay in the kitchen, it can be used to efficiently chop, chisel, mince or slice. Its blade length offers great amplitude of movement and excellent performance on larger volumes, while maintaining precise control thanks to its careful balance.
The combination of these three knives allows you to work comfortably and efficiently, whatever the food or preparation. This set is therefore the ideal basis for equipping yourself with reliable, durable Japanese knives perfectly suited to everyday use.
High-performance, easy-care 1K6 stainless steel Japanese blades
The blades of Kai Seki Magoroku Shoso knives are made from 1K6 stainless steel, a Japanese alloy renowned for its strength and cutting consistency. Enriched with molybdenum and vanadium, with a carbon content of around 0.8%, this steel offers an excellent compromise between hardness and ease of sharpening.
With a hardness of around 58 HRC on the Rockwell scale, the cutting edge remains effective over time, yet is easy to maintain. Each knife benefits from a multi-stage sharpening process, guaranteeing optimal cutting quality from the very first use.
The convex cutting edge is another major advantage of this range. This geometry enables smooth, comfortable cutting, while making the knives perfectly suited to both right-handed and left-handed users.
Hammered stainless steel handles for impeccable hygiene
The handles of Kai Seki Magoroku Shoso knives are made entirely of 18/8 stainless steel. The blade is set into the heart of the handle, forming a one-piece structure that ensures excellent strength and durability.
The handle's hammered finish adds a modern, elegant touch while improving grip. Its ergonomic shape settles naturally into the palm, providing much-appreciated balance and constant comfort, even during prolonged use.
This all-stainless steel design also guarantees optimum hygiene, particularly suited to intensive use. Cleaning is quick and easy, with no risk of moisture retention or food residues.

Japanese finishes and the Kai signature
The knives in the Kai Seki Magoroku Shoso set feature a meticulous finish in keeping with Japanese manufacturing standards. The Kai logo and brand are engraved directly on the blade, underlining the authenticity of the range and the seriousness of the manufacturer.
Combining cutting efficiency, structural sturdiness and contemporary aesthetics, this set of 3 knives is a safe choice for reliable, elegant Japanese knives perfectly suited to demanding everyday use.
