About this product

The Kai Sekimagoroku Shoso AB5165 is a 165 mm Chinese chef knife with a broad rectangular blade and a row of oval scallops. It is a preparation knife for slicing and chopping vegetables and boneless ingredients, rather than a heavy cleaver for bones.

Made in Japan, it pairs a stainless-steel blade with a contoured 18-8 stainless-steel handle. The seamless transition is easy to wipe clean, and the diamond-patterned grip gives your fingers a defined contact area.

Product Overview

The Kai Sekimagoroku Shoso AB5165 is a 165 mm Chinese chef knife with a broad rectangular blade and a row of oval scallops. It is a preparation knife for slicing and chopping vegetables and boneless ingredients, rather than a heavy cleaver for bones.

Made in Japan, it pairs a stainless-steel blade with a contoured 18-8 stainless-steel handle. The seamless transition is easy to wipe clean, and the diamond-patterned grip gives your fingers a defined contact area.

The tall blade offers space beside your guiding knuckles, while the shallow scallops break up contact along the blade face. Keep the edge clear of bones and frozen food, and use a suitable cutting board.

An all-steel handle with a defined grip

Made in Japan, it pairs a stainless-steel blade with a contoured 18-8 stainless-steel handle. The seamless transition is easy to wipe clean, and the diamond-patterned grip gives your fingers a defined contact area.

The double-sided edge suits both right- and left-handed cooks. Keep a secure grip and use deliberate cutting strokes; the broad profile does not make this knife suitable for chopping hard bones.

Care for a clean, sharp edge

Hand washing is recommended to protect the edge. Clean promptly with mild detergent, rinse and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Remove acidic food residue after use, and store the knife with its edge protected from other utensils.

Stainless steel is resistant to rust, but food and water should not be left on the surface. Keep the cutting edge away from hard surfaces and other metal utensils during cleaning and storage.
