Made by KAI who is the manufacturer under which SHUN knives are also produced. Founded in 1908 in Seki (Japan), the Magoroku collection is the affordable entry into the world of Japanese knives. The Wakatake series features polypropylene handles on high-carbon stainless steel making them ideal contestants for a fast paced environment. Very thin behind the edge, they are not only light in the hand but also glide throught indredients easily thanks to such a slim geometry. If you are on a budget and don't want to compromise performance, this series can get the job done.
Petty knives represent an ideal fusion of slicing and paring features, making them the preferred option for precision-oriented food preparations. The Wakatake SB model, distinguished by its distinctive single bevel design, emerges as an outstanding choice for those involved in meat preparation tasks, including deboning and removing silver skin. Additionally, it excels in the precise slicing of fruits, vegetables, or poultry, and demonstrates equal proficiency in mincing garlic, onions, and delicate herbs.
