## Description

Kai Seki Magoroku Kinju ST Japanese Deba Knife 180mm (AK-1103)

Review: Simple yet sturdy construction and dangerously razor-sharp right out of the box - This is my first sashimi-type knife purchase for use in a professional kitchen. I wanted a solid knife and I think I got one for the price. Simple yet sturdy construction and dangerously razor-sharp right out of the box. Was able to cut through fish like butter. Even through tough, sinewy bits. Was able to slide right through seared cuts of tuna for clean and unblemished slices. Would probably recommend it as a good starter knife if you are not looking to pay too much. Again, likely not the best knife out there...but FOR THE PRICE I believe it is well worth it.
Review: Perfect! - Very sharp, and a nice feel to it. I was afraid it would feel plasticy and cheap, but not at all! Nice weight to the handle, and the blade practically falls right through the food.

**Q: Single or double bevel?**
A: Single. Very very nice blade got it for my older brother who's a chef. He was beyond words

**Q: Anyone knows the hrc snd steel type on this knife?**
A: According to knifelover.com it is Daido 1K6 high carbon stainless but no details on hardness.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Knife quality
*by R***Z on February 9, 2026*

It's a good knife for the price point. When you first get it it will only have a very thin factory edge so you will have to sharpen it out the box, after that it'll be pretty decent just make sure not to bang it agent other things as it chips super easy ivw been using it at my job as a sushi chef for about a month or two and has held up decently
