Kai Wasabi Santoku Knife

Be a master of prep work with the Kai Wasabi Santoku Knife. The blade is made using strong stainless steel to create a sharp and durable edge. The well-crafted blade is complemented by a modern, black handle. 



The blade of the knife incorporates a graze finish which releases food as you cut. This makes it much easier to chop many ingredients, especially potatoes and onions. This makes prep work safer and quicker because you are constantly wiping off the knife. This is quite a versatile knife thanks to the 6.5" blade and santoku design. It is specifically made for slicing, dicing, and mincing, and it does all that with ease. 



The handle pays homage to traditional Japanese knives, but replaces the wooden/resin combination with a less expensive polypropylene/bamboo blend. It is very lightweight and easy to grasp. An inch or so of steel separates the blade and handle. 



I love the "wasabi" imprint on the blade of the knife. The Japanese lettering adds a lot of character to the knife. I also think it completes the knife, and makes it into a wonderful gift for any foodie or beginner cook!
