- Extremely sharp blade
- Designed and made in Japan
- Slices bread without flattening it
There are normal bread knives, and then there are bread knives from Japan. The Japanese bread knives from KAI easily cut thin slices of newly baked loaves and sourdough bread without squishing or flattening it.
The blades on KAI bread knives are serrated, extremely sharp and will slice just as effectively whether you are pushing the knife away from you or pulling it towards you. The knife fits your hand perfectly and is very well balanced. The sharp blade and elegant Japanese design make KAI the obvious choice for both private and professional kitchens.
The knife comes in two versions: Kai Wasabi and Kai Shun Classic.
Kai WASABI
The black handle is made of a combination of polypropylene and bamboo powder. This is especially hygienic as bamboo naturally has anti-bacterial properties. The handle is perfectly moulded to the blade, making it easy to keep clean.
The blade is made of stainless polished steel and is washed by hand with a mild washing-up liquid. The bread knife is a part of the series WASABI from KAI.
