Kai Wasabi chef's knife

Knives for Right-Handed Users

Inspired by Zen Buddhism, the Wasabi knife series showcases pure Japanese aesthetics. This versatile utility knife from KAI is part of the Wasabi series.

Authentic Blade

The polished 15 cm long blade made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel was developed in Japan. The design integrates a distinctive Far Eastern flair with practical hardness of 58±1 HRC for your daily cutting tasks.

Antibacterial Handle

The handle has been specially designed for the Wasabi series and offers a natural antibacterial effect thanks to its unique combination of bamboo powder and polypropylene. The optimal hygiene properties primarily result from the bamboo content of the handle. The black handle, measuring 12.6 cm, fully envelops the blade rather than being fitted like a traditional Japanese wooden handle. This ensures a firm connection between the blade and the handle, preventing dirt accumulation in small crevices. All these features make the Wasabi knife suitable for use in large kitchens.
