Product Overview

The Sekiryu SR500 brings a broad, rectangular 200 mm blade to vegetable and boneless-ingredient preparation. Its tall stainless-steel face is paired with a dark wooden handle and a bright metal collar.

Made in Seki, Japan, the blade uses 420J2 stainless steel with a hardness of HRC 50–53. The rounded wooden handle has shallow circular grooves, a visible metal pin and a silver collar.

A broad blade for vegetable preparation

Use the long cutting edge for slicing and chopping vegetables and boneless ingredients on a stable board. The tall blade face gives the SR500 a different working shape from a pointed chef’s knife. Use controlled cuts and keep hard bones and frozen food away from the edge.

Care for the blade and wooden handle

Wash the knife by hand with mild dish soap, then rinse and dry both blade and handle promptly. Avoid abrasive cleaners and prolonged soaking of the wooden grip. Store the knife with its edge protected, and keep it for controlled preparation rather than forcing it through hard bones or frozen food.
