KAI Wasabi Black Nakiri Knife, 16.5 cm

The KAI Wasabi Black Nakiri (WA6716N) is a 16.5 cm Japanese knife designed for processing vegetables and fruit. Its 165 mm blade has a flat profile and a blunt tip, which makes it effective for vertical chopping and push-cutting. The Daido 1K6 stainless steel construction keeps the blade thin and sharp for precise slicing. As the knife has no bolster, you can sharpen the entire length of the edge. This knife is ideal for tasks where consistent contact with the cutting board is required.

The black handle is made from a waterproof composite of bamboo powder and polypropylene. Its ergonomic shape provides a secure grip during repeated use. The satin-finished steel contrasts with the dark handle for a clean, minimalist look. The knife is not dishwasher safe and must be washed by hand to protect the materials. Manufactured in Japan, it combines traditional blade geometry with modern, durable materials. With an overall length of 300 mm, the knife is well-balanced for various hand sizes.
