Pakkawood

Seki Magoroku 10,000 series handles are Pakkawood, a premium handle material made of genuine hardwood impregnated with resin. The resin makes it moisture resistant, strong, and durable—important for kitchen knives. Sanding and buffing brings Pakkawood to a beautiful gloss finish. As with natural wood, no two pieces of Pakkawood are exactly alike.
