Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Kai Wasabi Black Yanagiba Knife, 8 1/4-Inch

Customer Review: Don't expect Shun quality
Summary: 4 Stars

I bought it impulsively for the price. The item name is a bit deceptive. Shun is one of KAI brands, and this knife is from KAI but not Shun. The blade is beautiful and very sharp, but the handle is small (2.5" cir), and plastic. You have to be very careful even the back side of the blade. I cut my fingers with the back side when I was separating meat. They should take the edge off. It well worth the money and very useful, but it's not good enough to bear "Shun" name. I'm a big fun of Shun, so I feel using its name is degrading for the Shun brand since it's not perfect. I give 4 stars.

Our Wasabi line of knives feature traditional Japanese blade styling, and our 9-inch Yanagiba knife is no exception. This Yanagiba Knife features unsurpassed cutting performance due to the Daido 1K6 high-carbon, stainless which maintains superior edge retention.
