Kai Seki Magoroku Shoso Utility Knife 15cm

The Shoso Utility Knife is an extremely handy all-purpose knife suited to general food preparation of smaller food items.

The utility knife is between a chef’s knife and a paring knife, with a narrower and straighter blade. It’s perfect for a multitude of small tasks where more precise cuts are needed, such as trimming broccoli, green beans, or other smaller vegetables. Its slightly curved belly enables it to do moderate rocking cuts.

Shoso is part of Kai’s Seki Magoroku range of knives. Many celebrated swords were born in the Seki area during the Kamakura era. The master craftsman “Magoroku of Seki” harnessed the original techniques to produce swords of great quality, sharpness, strength and beauty. Made in Japan, Shoso are truly elegant and thoughtfully designed knives made entirely from stainless steel to provide a balanced feel in the hand and optimum hygiene. Beautifully finished in a matt satin finish.
