🔪 FAQ: The Designer Japanese Seki Blades Set

  • These blades feature an Elite SG2 Powder Steel core, which is considered a super-steel in culinary circles. This composition allows for an incredibly fine, razor-sharp edge with superior retention and durability. The steel is precision-forged to ensure uncompromising craftsmanship and reliable, high-level performance.

  • These are high-performance instruments, and to maintain their aesthetic and edge integrity, they must be hand-washed immediately after use. Avoid harsh detergents and never place them in the dishwasher, as this severely damages the edge and handle. To preserve the integrity and longevity of your SG2 steel blade, cleanse it immediately after contact with acidic or salty foods, such as tomatoes, citrus, or vinegar-based ingredients. Dry them thoroughly before returning them to the magnetic block.
