The Seki Magoroku KK Yanagiba Japanese slicing knives are distinguished by their pure form and the octagonal, matt black handle made of pakka wood.
The extremely long, slim blade shape enables wafer-thin, precise cuts - perfect for slicing fish. The Yanagiba's one-side bevelled blade is made of high carbon stainless steel that meets stringent European standards and is decorated with a soft, wavy line as a satin finish. The KK series combines robust quality with simple functionality.
