The KAI Seki Magoroku Kaname AE-5501<\/strong> is a 15 cm Japanese kiritsuke knife that unites the elegance of a yanagiba with the versatility of an usuba in a single all-purpose blade. Part of the Seki Magoroku Kaname line, it is a modern, everyday chef’s knife shaped in the traditional kiritsuke profile, ideal for fish, meat and vegetables alike.<\/p>\n

Its blade is made of 3-layer VGXeos steel, a clad construction that keeps a hard, keen cutting core protected by tougher outer layers for an edge that stays sharp and resists chipping. The hexagonal Pakkawood handle is comfortable and moisture-resistant, and \u2014 unlike the single-bevel traditional Japanese knives \u2014 this symmetric grind is suitable for both right- and left-handers.<\/p>\n

Why choose the KAI Kaname AE-5501 kiritsuke?<\/h2>\n

Because it offers the distinctive angled kiritsuke tip for precise, detailed work together with a long, flat edge for clean push-cuts and slicing. At 15 cm it is the versatile centrepiece of the kitchen: one knife for filleting fish, slicing meat and preparing vegetables, without switching tools.<\/p>\n

With a 15.4 cm blade, a maximum width of 3.6 cm, a 13.5 cm handle and a total length of 29 cm, it weighs 130 g and is well balanced for control on the board. Suitable for right- and left-handed users. The knife is supplied in a presentation box and carries a 10-year warranty<\/strong> against manufacturing defects.<\/p>\n
