## Description

A Shell Seal Seki Magoroku six Kitchen Knives (Santoku Knife, 165mm)

Review: My Go To Knife - This is an excellent knife. I was gifted a sushi knife many years ago. It is the sharpest knife I've ever used, but it requires a lot of maintenance and TLC given that it is not stainless (can rust), has an asymmetric blade (more difficult to sharpen), and wood handle (not "dishwasher safe" although I always wash my best knives by hand). The Japanese make excellent steel and knives; the Americans (aka made in China) not so much. So when I used this knife at a friend's house, I was impressed and bought one. Nice weight, balance, sharpness, grip, blemish free and easy to sharpen. It doesn't hold an edge as well as my sushi knives, but that is to be expected. It's my go to knife.
Review: Really - This is a wonderful and sharp knife turns anything i cut into butter . I buy meat in bulk and cut them into the desired pieces so I need a dependable knife and this one is standing up to the test. However, I will buy a knife sleeve for it. Avoid the unwanted cuts (yup did me). It is really sharp glad I bought.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice knife, skinny handle
*by D***G on September 2, 2024*

Handle was to narrow for my liking. If I held the knife dead center it was fine. I have big hands so I like a regular style wider handle. Knife looks nice and cuts good. Ended up giving to a friend as a present.
