Oak Knife Block with 8 Kai Wasabi Black japanese knives

Kai Wasabi Black kitchen knives are designed for professional chefs and home cooks alike. They represent internationally-recognized expertise in cutting, holding and ergonomics (not to mention design!).

This Kai Wasabi Black 8-knife block is a concentrate of efficiency. It provides you with 8 very useful knives in an elegant and timeless way.

Here's what it's made of:

- 1 10cm paring knife: the handy little knife for chopping small fruit and vegetables

- 1 15cm utility knife: same as the paring knife, but for larger pieces, and can even chop meat (boneless)

- 1 Deba 10.5cm knife (right-handed): perfect for mincing the flesh of small fish.

- 1 Deba 15cm knife (right-handed): same as the Office, but for larger cuts, and with its thick blade (0.5cm) it's also handy for making tartar with a knife.

- 1 Santoku knife 16.5cm: the versatile Japanese knife in all its forms. Particularly appreciated for chopping food, its curved blade creates a natural rocking motion as you cut.

- 1 Nakiri knife 16.5cm: the Japanese knife of choice for fine vegetable cutting. It can also be used as a small "scoop", thanks to its wide, flat blade, to move food once cut into another container.

- 1 chef's knife 20cm: the all-purpose knife for chopping, mincing or mincing meats and vegetables... A must-have in the kitchen.

- 1 Yanagiba knife 24cm (right-handed): its long, thin, bevelled blade can be used to produce thin slices, for example, for making fine sashimi.

- 1 oak block

The blade of each of these knives is made of 10.5cm 1K6 stainless steel, a resistant alloy enriched with molybdenum and vanadium with 0.8% carbon, which achieve a hardness of 58 HRC on the Rockwell scale. This is a very good ratio between edge retention and ease of sharpening.

The handle is made from a blend of polypropylene (a high-quality polymer often used in the kitchen) and bamboo powder, known for its antibacterial properties appreciated in the kitchen. Designed for intensive use, you can wash it without difficulty. In addition, the blade has been embedded in its center, making it irremovable and giving the whole piece a tenfold strength. Some of these models feature a traditional "D"-shaped handle, while others are simply straight.

The block is also a noteworthy feature, since it is made from oak wood, a prestigious and visual species. It will be perfect for your worktop, whether you have a rather rustic or authentic kitchen: the warm look of solid oak will add an elegant touch to your interior.

And the oak itself has been oiled for maximum protection and durability. Note that the block is removable, so you can take it apart and clean the inside of the knife slots.

All in all, this block will be the perfect accessory for taking care of your knives and keeping them close to you, ready for cutting!
