The KAI Seki Magoroku Kaname AE-5500<\/strong> is a 12 cm Japanese kiritsuke knife that blends the elegance of a yanagiba with the versatility of an usuba in a compact, agile blade. From the Seki Magoroku Kaname line, it is a modern everyday knife in the traditional kiritsuke profile \u2014 nimble enough for detail work yet versatile across fish, meat and vegetables.<\/p>\n

Its blade is made of 3-layer VGXeos steel, a clad construction with a hard, keen cutting core protected by tougher outer layers, for a sharp edge that resists chipping. The hexagonal Pakkawood handle is comfortable and moisture-resistant, and its symmetric grind is suitable for both right- and left-handers.<\/p>\n

Why choose the KAI Kaname AE-5500 kiritsuke?<\/h2>\n

Because its shorter 12 cm blade brings the precision of the angled kiritsuke tip to smaller tasks \u2014 trimming, slicing and detailed preparation \u2014 while keeping the clean, flat edge that makes push-cutting so effortless. It is the perfect partner to a larger chef’s or santoku knife.<\/p>\n

With a 12.4 cm blade, a maximum width of 3.3 cm, a 10.5 cm handle and a total length of 24 cm, it weighs just 76 g and is light and precise in the hand. 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
