Kai Shun Wasabi Black Slicer 230mm (9.1")
The Kai Shun Wasabi Black Slicer 230mm (9.1") is a versatile Japanese kitchen knife with a minimalist design, long-lasting sharpness and an affordable price tag. The blades in the Wasabi Black series are made from 6A/1K6 corrosion-resistant steel, which has been hardened to 58 (±1) HRC to ensure long-lasting sharpness and easy maintenance.
Wasabi Black is a true workhorse in the kitchen — robust, durable, and ready for intensive use. It stands out for its reliability and precision, making it an excellent choice for beginners and experienced professionals alike. Even at an accessible price point, its craftsmanship and precision rival that of far pricier Western-style knives.
BLADE SHAPE:
The long, narrow profile is ideal for clean, single-stroke cuts of meat, fish, and large produce. Its length reduces friction, helping you achieve smooth slices with minimal pressure.
STEEL:
The polished blade is made from newly developed corrosion-resistant 6A/1K6 steel, hardened to 58 (±1) HRC, offering a perfect balance of sharpness, edge retention, and easy maintenance. Its slightly curved spine ensures a secure grip and effortless control, even for fine cutting and rocking motions.
HANDLE:
The matte black handle, made of water-resistant polypropylene enriched with bamboo powder, feels smooth and natural in the hand. Its oval shape provides comfort and precision during extended use. The seamless joint between blade and handle prevents dirt buildup and supports easy cleaning.
SMITHY:
For over 115 years, the KAI company has been producing cutlery according to the traditions of the legendary samurai of old Japan. In the process, the desire to preserve ancient traditions and to combine them with innovative techniques represents no contradiction, but forms the basis for new products that honor Japanese blacksmithing while meeting modern demands.
