Why Seki 3?

• Made from SG2 high quality powdered steel. This knife will hold its sharp edge for longer. 
• SG2 steel is extremely hard and durable. It ranks an extraordinarily high 64 on the Rockwell scale. This is above the average of most premium knives (at 58-62 hardness). 
• The triple-layered blade is finished with stainless steel. This not only allows for easy release when slicing, but also increases the strength of the blade. 
• Seki 3 layered knives have sleek Pakkawood handles. They are extra water-resistant to prevent the risk of splitting. The curved shape moulds to the shape of your hand for extra comfort when slicing.
