## Description

Product Description The knife is crafted from high carbon & stainless steel that is rust-resistant and features a strength that endures deformation even with constant use. The broad and long blade makes the task of slicing and dicing faster and convenient. Experience accurate cutting with a double bevel-edged blade, this knife has a distinct and perfect razor-sharp edge characteristic. This makes it excellent for cutting through firm vegetables & delicate slicing of fruits and other products. The ergonomic construction of this knife features a non-slip surface that lowers hand tension to enhance a natural movement when slicing. It comfortably fits in your hand while giving you the right balance, minimal effort, & safety when using.

Review: Perfect knife for kitchen work. Go for it! - Fantastic balance. It is a joy to handle this knife. It has an extremely sharp edge. You do not have to press. It passes through vegetables like butter! Its blade has the same thickness as a chef's knife (1.5 mm), but since the entire blade is wedge-shaped (tapered), it feels thinner. This is NOT a problem: In fact, such "full flat grinding is provided in many high-end Japanese Santoku knives! That said, the sharp edge is delicate. Use only wood/plastic chopping boards, and do NOT chop on stone/glass/steel chopping boards (or directly on the kitchen platform). Also, you must maintain its sharp edge regularly by honing it on a whetstone (easily available on desertcart). Do NOT use hand-held sharpeners! The only problem is that the cut food sticks to the sides of the blade because there is no sharp angle at the edge. (If the knife has a sharp V-shaped edge, the food falls off the blade. Santoku knives have dimples to prevent such sticking (which are ineffective anyway), but this one does not have dimples. The handle is sturdy with three rivets, and perfectly finished. The handle has a taper in front to allow the classic chef's pinch grip. This grip allows perfect control over your cutting and dicing. See photos for these details. Highly recommended!
Review: Value for money - It's very sharp and of premium quality great for cutting jackfruit. Value for money

Kai Santoku knife is best for daily household kitchen work, its made of high grade stainless steel.

I have used several other brands in this price range, but Kai knife outshine everyone, it holds edge for long compared to those. Easy to sharp on wheatstone of 1000 grit. Overall a good choice you can go for it.
