Review: Good knives for the money - For the money these are good knives. I give it 5 stars based on the quality for the money. Pretty sharp out of the box and a comfortable handle although I find it a little on the small side but for me it's not a big issue. If you have very large hands you may want to look at something else. Not the best quality steel and it requires frequent sharpening but it's on par with everything else in it's price range. However, it does sharpen very easily and I would recommend getting the KAI 3 stage sharpener to keep these really sharp. Review: This knife works well and holds the edge - This knife works well for at home. The grip is smooth so it is good for regular prep and cooking. It may be hard to use in a a commercial kitchen due to the lack of grip on the handle. ## Features - JAPANESE CHEF KNIFE: The Kai PRO 8-inch Chef’s Knife is expertly designed for a variety of kitchen tasks, from slicing and dicing to mincing, making it an indispensable tool for any cook. - PRO LEVEL PERFORMANCE: Designed with both safety and quality in mind, the Kai PRO Series provides a lifetime of exceptional performance even with rigorous use.

It’s probably needed in California where anything with plastic composites (the handle). One thing, though, the steel used in this knife doesn’t hold an edge for very long. You could get something better at that price. **Q: Country of manufacture?** A: Kai is the parent company of several high end knife producers such as Shun and Kershaw. The Kai Pro is made however in China. For the money, it's not bad. It takes an edge but doesn't hold it. The steel they use is for low end cutlery. **Q: Is this flexible?** A: Please note, this item is rigid. We do have a flexible version that will be available very soon **Q: Another bit of phony bs; mentioning japan over and over re the metal, the design, the company history. made in china?** A: AUS6 steel is a low end stainless. These knives are made in China. However, Kai owns Shun. I have a couple and they are easy to sharpen but don't hold the edge for long. They're worth the $29 apiece I paid for them. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good knives for the money *by J***F on May 3, 2023* For the money these are good knives.
