  1. Kai Japan - Seki Magoroku Kaname - AE-5500 - Kiritsuke 12cm. - professional kitchen knife

    The core of Kaname blades is made of an extremely durable VGXeos steel with a hardness of 60-62 (±1) HRC, rolled in two layers of stainless steel. The special manufacturing method ensures an incredibly thin cutting edge that reduces friction during use. This results in excellent and durable sharpness, promoting filigree, smooth and precise cuts.

    To best design the handle, we combined the experiences of professionals and consumers. The result is a black-grained pakkawood handle that creates a seamless transition from the handle to the tang. The octagonal, ergonomic shape of the handle provides good control while cutting, while the knife rests securely and comfortably in the hand.

  4. Kai Japan - Shun DM-0711 - Steak Knife 125mm - table knife

    Shun Classic is one of the flagship lines of the Kai Group (which currently also includes the Kershaw and Zero Tolerance brands), a famous Japanese manufacturer of knives and razors since the early 1900s. This is a series of knives and kitchen accessories suitable for professionals and enthusiasts.

    The blades are made of rolled steel consisting of an inner layer of VG-10 stainless steel and two outer cheeks of 32-layer damask. The result is excellent cutting capacity combined with excellent edge retention and good flexibility, which is also guaranteed by the differentiated tempering.

    Today, these knives represent the pinnacle of Japanese culinary technology. The quality does not stop with the steel used, however, but continues with the care of the workmanship (sharpening in particular) and the materials used, such as the splendid Pakkawood used for the handles.

    Handle: Black Pakkawood
    Blade length: 125 mm.

Kai Knives FAQ

What is the difference between Kai Shun and Kai Wasabi?

The Shun series represents the top of the range: Damascus steel, VG-MAX core, and high hardness. The Wasabi series is more essential and robust, designed for daily professional use with an excellent quality/price ratio.

How to maintain Kai Damascus steel knives?

Always wash by hand and dry immediately. For sharpening, Japanese water stones with medium-fine grit (1000–6000) are recommended, avoiding dishwashers and aggressive detergents.
