Having received the Red Dot Design Award in 2013, the Seki Magoroku
Composite Series is the symbol of contemporary design expertise from Kai. The series combines dynamism and lightness with a composite blade of two steel grades, laminated and bonded
using copper solder.
This results in a stunning flash of copper running along the blade length that turns the blade into a highlight
of high-tech engineering. In combination with the pale wooden handle, the knives are futuristic, light, and sophisticated. And most importantly, the knives ensure
ultimate sharpness and extraordinary overall performance.
