Product Description

Add one of the top 3 must-have kitchen knives to your collection with the Kai Wasabi 6-inch Utility Knife. In between a chef's knife and a paring knife with a narrow, straight blade, this cooking knife is an ideal tool for small tasks where precise cuts are needed such as trimming broccoli, green beans or other small vegetables. They're also called sandwich knives because they work well for almost every task involved in making a sandwich – from cutting thin-skinned vegetables like tomatoes to preparing meats and cheeses. The Wasabi Utility Knife is constructed with high-carbon stainless steel for a corrosion- and wear-resistant blade that's easily sharpened and holds a good edge. The traditional, Japanese-style, symmetrical handle is comfortable and easy to use.
