Kai AB-5165

With the Kai Seki Magoroku Shoso Chinese chef's knife (16.5 cm), you can effortlessly cut herbs and vegetables. Note: Although the shape may suggest otherwise, this is not a cleaver! The high blade offers the additional advantage of allowing you to wrap your fingers around it, enabling more precise work. Thanks to the hollow grinds in the blade, food does not stick to the knife. Since the Japanese knife is made entirely of stainless steel, bacteria have no chance. In addition to its hygienic aspect, this knife is particularly characterized by its perfect ergonomics and unparalleled sharpness, made possible by innovative sharpening technology.

The blade of the Shoso universal knife is made from Japanese stainless 1K6 steel with a hardness of 58 HRC. This makes the knife hard enough to be sharpened very finely and it retains this sharpness for a long time. This is further enhanced by the convex grind. With this grind, there is no secondary bevel; the blade is ground from the spine to the cutting edge. The edge gradually becomes thicker, which also means it dulls less quickly. Therefore, you won't need to sharpen it as often. However, this does not mean you should wait until your knife is completely dull to sharpen it. Timely sharpening significantly extends the lifespan of your knife.

Particular attention has also been paid to user-friendliness. The matte handle is made of 18-8 stainless steel and feels very comfortable in the hand thanks to its symmetrical elliptical shape. The integrated pattern provides additional grip. Practical and safe!
