For uniform slicing and dicing, a chef’s knife is the optimal tool. This stunning knife is made by KAI, Japan’s premier cutlery manufacturer for more than 90 years. The 8" stainless steel blade is clad on both sides with 16 layers of high-carbon stainless steel. Its profile reduces sticking, speeds preparation and keeps food undamaged. Its handle, a fused blend of hardwood veneers and phenolic, provides both beauty and function. Dishwasher safe, although hand washing is recommended.

- Stainless-steel bolsters and end caps
- The Damascus-look blade profile reduces sticking and results in less damage to the food being cut and faster prep times
- The “D” shape rests precisely in the curve of the fingers as they curl around the handle
- The asymmetrical bolster is ground out more on the right side to provide proper finger placement and an easy, secure grip
- The knives balance perfectly, with the pivot point just ahead of where the handle sweeps out of the blade
- The black PakkaWood® handles provide the beauty of genuine wood, but—since the wood is impregnated with a waterproof resin—the handles are as durable as plastic and are dishwasher safe, too
