## Long description

The KAI MGC-0401 universal kitchen knife features a 15 cm composite steel blade that combines two different steel grades bonded with a visible copper layer. The design, part of the Seki Magoroku Composite Series which received the reddot Design Award 2013, pairs a durable VG-10 cutting edge with a satined SUS420J2 spine and a polished bolster. The slim, cross-grained pakkawood handle is symmetrically shaped for left- and right-handed use and attaches seamlessly to the integrated tang for balanced, controlled handling.
Advantages
The laminated composite blade offers high edge retention and improved corrosion resistance by combining a hard VG-10 cutting core with a tougher SUS420J2 outer layer and a copper bond for added structural integrity and a distinctive appearance. The slim pakkawood handle provides a secure, comfortable grip and a well-balanced feel for precise cutting tasks. The knife’s 15 cm blade length and universal profile make it suitable for a wide range of kitchen preparations.
Suitable for

How to use
Hold the knife with a pinch grip between thumb and forefinger on the blade near the bolster for fine control, or use a handle grip for general cutting. Use smooth, controlled slicing motions appropriate to the ingredient—rocking or push-cut techniques as needed. Maintain a stable cutting board and keep fingers clear of the blade path during use.
Usage recommendations
Hand wash and dry the knife immediately after use to preserve the blade finish and prevent corrosion. Regularly hone the VG-10 edge with a ceramic rod and sharpen as needed on appropriate stones to maintain optimal cutting performance. Store the knife in a block, sheath or on a magnetic strip to protect the edge.
