Seki Magoroku KK Yanagiba 27cm

The Seki Magoroku KK Yanagiba is a traditional Japanese slicing knife, originally designed for sashimi and sushi, but equally outstanding for carving large, slow-cooked cuts such as brisket, pork belly, and roast beef. Its long “willow blade” profile allows for smooth, uninterrupted draw cuts, delivering clean, even slices without tearing or crushing delicate fibres, critical for preserving moisture in rested brisket.

The single-bevel, hand-sharpened edge (approx. 16°) glides effortlessly through soft proteins, while the heavier blade and thicker spine provide stability and control across wide cuts. This makes it a natural choice for pitmasters and low-and-slow cooks looking for a premium brisket slicing knife with genuine pedigree.

Crafted from high-carbon molybdenum vanadium stainless steel and finished with a subtle satin wave, the blade balances edge retention with ease of maintenance. The octagonal black matte PakkaWood handle offers excellent grip and balance, even during long slicing sessions.
