Seki Kanetsugu Pro-M Utility Knife 5.9-inch

Made in Japan.

Crafted in Seki City, Japan, the Kanetsugu Pro-M Series delivers the performance and durability demanded by culinary professionals. Each knife features a high-carbon Molybdenum Vanadium stainless steel blade, known for its outstanding edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of maintenance—ideal for fast-paced, high-volume kitchens.

The blade is treated with sub-zero (-70C) ice-hardening to improve structure and increase long-term sharpness. Finished with a convex “Hamaguri” edge, the Pro-M knives offer smooth, controlled cuts and reduced resistance through ingredients—hallmarks of traditional Japanese blade geometry.

Ergonomically designed with a reinforced anti-slip polyacetal resin handle, the Pro-M is NSF-certified for hygiene and safety, offering excellent grip even in wet conditions. Lightweight, balanced, and exceptionally durable, it’s a go-to choice for chefs seeking no-nonsense performance without sacrificing precision.
