Kai Wasabi Black Utility Knife, 6-Inch

My mother-in-law wanted to replace her $40 multi-knife set because those knifes would not stay sharp. We purchased three KAI Wasabi Black knives for her (Santoku, 8" Chef's, and 6" Utility) as well as the Better Houseware 2404/12 Bamboo Magnetic Bar.

We find the knives to be sharp and comfortable. They definitely keep the sharp edge longer than her old knives. Plus, her counter looks much neater with the huge knife block gone. These knives come in nice boxes and would make a great present.

One thing that puzzles me is why Amazon calls these knives "SHUN Wasabi...". I did not find any reference to Shun on the knife boxes. I understand that the cutlery maker KAI that makes Wasabi line also makes Shun, but that is like calling Scion a Lexus.

I thought the handle was going be a cheap plastic, but I was wrong. The handle feels and looks great! The blade is incredibly sharp, and the whole knife is very well balanced. I'm very pleased with my purchase and would encourage anyone to make the purchase as well.

I love Shun & wanted a more affordably priced utility knife to add to my chef's bag for wine events and travel cooking. This is an excellent knife to fit that bill. So far I have used it 4-5 times. It seems to hold its sharp edge well enough from soft to harder veggies. It can hold up to cutting fine areas around bones as well. For the price this piece is worth it

Very sharp on arrival, but does need sharpening as do all knives. I would recommend as these knives are light and easy to use.

Just wanted a sharp knife larger than a paring knife. This is great for cutting up veggies. Can do some light chopping as it can rock a little like a chef's knife, but blade is too small and thin for much of that motion. More of a slicing blade. The handle is shaped with a bulge on one side that makes it feel uncomfortable for left-handers, but is good for righties. Sharpened easily with Accusharp.
