Product Overview

The AB-5118 is a Japanese-made Kai Sekimagoroku sashimi knife with a 6-1/2-inch molybdenum vanadium stainless-steel blade. Its narrow, pointed profile is paired with a strengthened black wooden handle rather than the unriveted traditional-style grip of the AK-1106 yanagiba.

The complete knife measures 10-3/4 inches long. A full tang, three handle rivets and a stainless-steel bolster give this compact slicing format the same coordinated black-and-silver handle construction as the Sekimagoroku gyutou range.

A narrow cutting profile

The slim blade leaves a different working footprint from a broad gyutou. Its pointed outline is shown in the existing fish and meat preparation photographs, while the 6-1/2-inch blade keeps the complete knife to 10-3/4 inches.

Compact slicing blade

A narrow 6-1/2-inch stainless-steel blade with a pointed tip.

Full-tang wooden handle

Strengthened black wood surrounds a continuous metal tang.

Stainless-steel fittings

A metal bolster and three rivets complete the grip.

A coordinated three-rivet grip

The full tang is visible around the edge of the black wooden handle. Three rivets and the stainless-steel bolster match the handle treatment of the companion Sekimagoroku gyutou knives.

Compare slicing formats

The AB-5118 and AK-1106 both offer narrow slicing profiles, but differ substantially in blade length and handle construction. This model combines a compact blade with a riveted wooden grip; the AK-1106 uses a longer yanagiba blade and separate plastic collar.
