KAI Akane Sekimagoroku Santoku Knife - 145mm 5.7"

Overview

Made in Japan, the KAI Seki Magoroku Akane Small Santoku Knife brings the precision and craftsmanship of traditional Japanese blades into the everyday kitchen.

With a compact 145 mm / 5.7 in blade, this versatile Japanese kitchen knife is ideal for chopping vegetables, slicing meat, cutting fruit, and preparing smaller portions. Its manageable size and lightweight design make it especially comfortable for home cooks who prefer a smaller knife or need better control during detailed meal prep.

The blade features a durable three-layer stainless steel construction with a high-hardness Molybdenum-Vanadium stainless steel core. A triple-edging process carefully polishes the cutting edge to reduce resistance, creating smooth, precise cuts with less effort.

The heat-resistant resin handle offers a comfortable, secure grip and is suitable for both right- and left-handed users. Sharp, balanced, and easy to maintain, this compact Santoku Knife is a practical choice for everyday cooking.

Why We Love It:
This smaller Santoku Knife feels light and easy to control, making it especially useful for preparing fruit, vegetables, children’s meals, and smaller portions. It gives you the versatility of a traditional Santoku Knife without feeling too large or heavy in the hand.

How to Use:
Use the knife with a stable cutting board for chopping, slicing, and dicing vegetables, meat, fruit, and other everyday ingredients.

Wash carefully with mild dish soap after use and dry immediately. Although the handle is dishwasher and dryer safe, hand washing is recommended to help preserve the sharpness and condition of the blade.

Store securely in a knife block, protective sheath, or drawer organizer. Keep out of reach of children.
