Overview
Not a paring knife or a slicer, this Kai PRO is an Asian utility knife built to multitask, from large amounts of vegetables for stir fry to thin slices of meat and garlic smashing with the flat side.
Reason to buy is versatility: the flat, the spine and the tip each have a described job, and the build carries NSF certification. The limitation is that steel hardness is not given and a single blade length covers all these jobs.
Who it's for
Home and commercial cooks who prep Asian style dishes will use the smashing flat, tenderizing back and pointed tip. Those who need a long carving blade or a full set should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Hammered tsuchime finish
- Full tang POM handle
- Free sharpening and honing
- Hand sharpened edge
- Steel hardness not listed
- Sold as a single knife
Performance notes
A narrow edge angle slices thin cuts of meat with little force. The flat of the blade smashes garlic, the spine tenderizes meat and the pointed tip handles boning of small cuts, while the curved front edge slices garlic and herbs. A full tang runs steel through the handle for balance.
