KAI Sekimagoroku Azuchi AE5143 180 mm gyuto knife with silver blade and black three-rivet handle

Carbon-steel core with stainless-steel sides

The three-layer construction places carbon steel at the cutting edge and stainless steel on the two outer faces. This combines the traditional carbon-steel edge with stainless cladding; it does not make the exposed edge rustproof.

The black handle is made from nylon and polypropylene, with three rivets along the grip. The double-bevel blade can be used by either hand. Keep the handle clean and dry for a secure grip during preparation.

Care for the carbon-steel edge

Hand wash with mild detergent and a soft sponge after use, then dry the blade and handle thoroughly before storage. Do not use a dishwasher or dish dryer, and do not leave the knife soaking or resting wet with food residue on the edge.

Store with the edge protected from contact with other utensils. Wipe away moisture during longer preparation sessions, particularly after cutting acidic foods. Keep the knife out of children’s reach and avoid hard or abrasive surfaces when cleaning.
