Seki Kanetsugu Miyabi Santoku 170mm

The Seki Kanetsugu Miyabi series features a three-layer rust-resistant blade with a cutting core made from premium Japanese AUS-8 steel—a widely used and highly regarded material in Japanese kitchen knife production. AUS-8 steel offers excellent sharpness, good corrosion resistance, and is especially easy to re-sharpen, even for those new to using Japanese knives.

The handle is made from rosewood (Dalbergia), a hardwood known for its exceptional durability and resistance to wear and impact, making it ideal for long-term use. Its natural water resistance helps prevent warping or cracking when exposed to the humid conditions of a kitchen. With its beautiful grain patterns and rich, natural colors ranging from reddish-brown to dark brown rosewood lends the knife a luxurious and elegant appearance.
 

Rosewood also provides a firm, comfortable grip that is non-slip, ensuring safe and precise handling. Additionally, its distinctive natural aroma helps to repel insects, maintaining hygiene for both your knife and your kitchen environment.

Seki Kanetsugu Miyabi belongs to the premium Japanese kitchen knife segment, yet comes at a remarkably affordable price. It is an excellent choice for those who want to experience the quality of a Japanese knife without breaking the budget.
