Review: Seems good for the price... - My initial impression is good but not great. Given the price, good = very good. The blade stock is a little thicker than I hoped for. I didn't measure it but can do so. The balance on the knife is couple of inches forward of the handle, which is not ideal for me. Not terrible, but I'd like it back more toward the handle. The grind on the blade looks excellent. I could do without the faux hammering on the top half of the blade, but I'm sure most people think it looks cool. It won't hurt anything. The steel is not great, but I knew this going into the purchase. For the price, a big piece of AUS-6 does not seem unreasonable. Given that I'll use this knife only a few times a year the steel is fine. Again, given the price it seems quite good. Sharpness was fine. I cut printer paper easily and cleanly and newsprint if i try hard (this requires more sharpness). This is not bad for a factory edge and certainly sharp enough to cut some protein. The first thing I did was sharpen it. As expected it takes an edge quickly and fairly easily. No issues at all. And it's sharper now. The handle is small and simple. It works surprisingly well. I'll know more when I go to cut meat for 20 people. I suspect it's going to slice very well. I would like to see KAI: 1. Thin the stock a little more, and taper it slightly more toward the tip. 2. Taper the tang in the handle wider toward the back. 3. Maybe make the handle a little longer. These three things would make for a nicer handling knife and get the balance back toward toward the handle. Of course, doing these things probably also makes this as $120 knife rather than a $70 knife. Considering the cost this looks like a very nice knife. Just set your expectations accordingly if you're a knife snob. Update: used this knife to make about 40 prime rib cuts. It works perfectly fine. For the money it's a nice knife. As I mentioned above I would prefer something with different balance, but it cuts fine. It was nice to have a longer knife for making cuts in big piece of meat.
Review: Great Costs - Price compared to other Japanese metal knives had me skeptical. Maybe I have never had a truly sharp knife before but right out of the package it was sharp and ready to cut. I've already cut my finger open one time as well it is that sharp! This knife worked great for me on cutting around bone on my steaks or reducing the thickness of fat caps for smoked meats and even for doing butterfly cuts. I will happily buy from this brand again and for the price I haven't had any complaints.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I know everything has it as an “abundance of caution” these days, but why does this knife have a cancer warning?**
A: I have a couple of Kai Pro knives and don’t remember seeing that warning. 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.

This knife is amazing. It is extremely sharp, very easy to hold, enough weight to cut easily. Big but not too big. It should last me a long time.
