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.
◻️ Additional Information
Please note that colours, shading, and overall appearance may vary slightly between photos and the product you receive. Lighting, camera exposure, and reflections on materials like steel, epoxy, and wood can all create subtle differences.
Many of our items are handmade, which means each piece has its own character. Minor variations in pattern, texture, or finish are normal and part of the craft.
If you’d like to see additional photos or close-ups of any item, feel free to request them before or after placing your order—especially for one-of-a-kind pieces. We’re always happy to help you choose the perfect knife or handle.
