Imayo is part of Kai’s Seki Magoroku range of knives. Many celebrated swords were born in the Seki area and in the Kamakura era. The master craftsman “Magoroku of Seki” possessed the original technique for producing beautiful, high-quality swords with outstanding sharpness. Made in Japan, these beautiful knives feature a hammered finish – tsuchime (tsoo-CHEE-may) in Japanese – which creates air pockets that improve food release when cutting.
Like others in the Kai family, the handle is made from hard-wearing PakkaWood, which enables durability and comfort, as well as making it an attractive-looking knife to have in your collection.

- Blade Material: Molybdenum Vanadium stainless steel with tsuchime finish
