The **Kai Seki Magoroku Kinju Yanagiba 18 cm** is perfect for filleting fish and cutting meat. This traditional knife has a very minimalist design, with its hexagonal handle made from laminated, reinforced wood. It is a truly classic design, making it a real eye-catcher in the kitchen, but it's also very comfortable in hand.

## Kai Seki Magoroku Kinju Yanagiba blade

The blade is made from stainless steel with a high carbon content. This keeps the knife sharp for an extra long time, and the knife is also easy to sharpen at home. The blade is only sharpened on one side, which makes the knives extra sharp and makes food less likely to stick to the knife during cutting. Is it your first time working with a blade that is only sharpened on one side? Then it will take some getting used to. You have to guide it slightly differently than with a normally sharpened knife. Because the knives are only sharpened on one side, the Kinju is a right-handed knife. Are you left-handed? Then the same collection exists, under the name Hekiju. These are especially for left-handed use.

## Kai Seki Magoroku Kinju Yanagiba handle

The handle of the Kai Seki Magoroku Kinju Yanagiba knife is made from a distinctive material. The handle is hexagonal and made from laminated, reinforced wood. This ensures that the knife fits comfortably in hand, making it a pleasure to use while cooking. The wood used to make the handle is always a very high-quality natural product. It is specially treated, making it resistant to moisture. However, it's still not a good idea to put the knife in the dishwasher, because it is not dishwasher safe.

General information

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade thickness

value_handle_length

Measured from the tip of the blade to the back of the handle

Total length

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

Weight

Dimensions & weight

value_steel_hardness

The hardness in Rockwell C for a knife is always according to the manufacturer's specifications. When a manufacturer specifies a value of 56-58HRC, for instance, we always note the highest value, i.e. 58HRC.

Type of edge

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

Sharpening angle

In terms of grind we are talking about how the complete blade thickness extends into the edge. Want to learn more about grinds? [Read all about grinds on knives](/en/ct/knife-grinds.htm).

value_total_sharpening_angle

This is the total sharpening angle, so the sharpening angles of both sides of the blade combined. For a knife with a one-sided grind this equals a single sharpening angle.

For the number of knives in the knife sets we stick to the information supplied by the manufacturer. Some brands consider the block to be part of the set, others don't.
