Kai Wasabi Black 8" Cook's / Chef's Knife

A must-have for anyone who loves to cook, this all-purpose chef's knife comes in handy for a variety of food-prepping tasks. Use it to chop, slice, dice, and more. Everything from carrots and potatoes for a savory stew, green peppers and onions for a homemade pizza to fruit for a summer salad.

The Wasabi Black series features traditional Japanese single-bevel blade shapes as well as a selection of double-bevel Western-style blade shapes. Single-beveled blades excel when extremely precise cuts are needed—for example, when preparing sushi. Double-beveled blades offer ease of use and versatility. Wasabi Black brings you the best of both worlds. The blades are high-carbon stainless steel designed to take and hold a sharp edge and come with a graze finish that gives them an attractive, brushed look. Paired with black polypropylene handles in a traditional Japanese style, Wasabi Black brings beauty and harmonious food preparation to any kitchen.

You’ll reach for your Wasabi Black Chef’s Knife every time you cook. This is the workhorse knife that does just about everything. It shares the same classic Japanese styling as the rest of the Wasabi Black line, but like classic Western-style chef’s knives, it has a double-beveled blade as well as the multipurpose design of a traditional chef’s knife. The eight-inch blade offers plenty of slicing power and the curved belly enables you to easily make the rocking cuts for which this knife is perfectly designed and justly famous.
