Wasabi Black 10-Piece Knife Set with Block
Wasabi Black 10-Piece Knife Set with Block, Limited Edition with Ken Onion Knife Block
The original Wasabi series featured traditional Japanese single-bevel blade styling for precision cutting. Our Wasabi Black series retains those classic styles, but adds a selection of double-beveled European blade styles – including a Paring Knife, Utility Knife, and Chef’s Knife, as well as a new Bread Knife. All Wasabi blades are made of Daido 1K6 high-carbon stainless steel for superior sharpness and edge retention. The blades are graze-finished which produces a beautiful, brushed-look.
The knives are completed with smooth, black polypropylene handles, giving them a very contemporary look and feel. The blades are enraved with the Japanese characters for “Wasabi”, which means “harmony and tranquility.” The Wasabi series is sure to bring harmony and tranquility to your kitchen. This 10 piece set includes: 4″ Paring Knife, 6″ Utility Knife, 8″ Chefs Knife, 9″ Bread Knife, 6 1/2″ Nakiri Knife, 6 1/2″ Santoku, 9 1/2″ Yanagiba Knife, Shears, Honing Steel, and a limited edition Ken Onion Knife Block.
This beautiful block fits both our Wasabi knives and our Ken Onion knives-you’ll enjoy the versatility and ability to add more Shun Cutlery to your kitchen arsenal! And the smaller block “footprint” means more counter-space for your kitchen. You’re sure to appreciate the thought we’ve put into this Amazon exclusive.

Wasabi Black 10-Piece Knife Set with Block Review
Made with the same exquisite quality and craftsmanship as the original Wasabi knives, this 10-piece set of Wasabi Black knives from Kai features Daido 1K6 high-carbon, stainless steel for superior edge retention and double-beveled blades on several of the knives–including the paring, utility, and chef’s knives. This set includes 8-inch chef’s, 9-inch bread, 6-1/2-inch Nakiri, 6-1/2-inch Santoku, 9-1/2-inch Yanagiba, 4-inch paring, and 6-inch utility knives as well as a pair of kitchen shears and a sharpening steel. An attractive bamboo block holds nine knives, sharpening steel and shears.
The Daido 1K6 high-carbon, stainless steel blade offers superior edge retention, and it will stay sharp when used against many materials in the kitchen like chicken bones. Graze-finished to produce a beautiful, brushed-look, each blade is embellished with the Japanese characters for “wasabi”–which translates to “harmony and tranquility.” Tradition is combined with a uniquely modern handle that’s made of powdered bamboo combined with polypropylene and is impregnated with an antibacterial agent for super clean food preparation. This wood block fits both Wasabi knives as well as Ken Onion knives, and its smaller footprint more counter-space for your kitchen.
While you’re probably familiar with some of the staple knives in this collection, such as the chef’s utility knives, it also includes several traditional Japanese kitchen blades. The long 9-1/2-inch Yanagiba slicer (which is single-beveled) is used by sushi chefs for filleting fish, and it’s also great for use on other cuts of meat. The 6-1/2-inch Nakiri has a rectangular blade shape that can be used as a cleaver, and its super sharp edge is also handy for skinning tough vegetables. And the 6-1/2-inch Santoku knife, which is style after the classic Japanese cook’s knife, has broad blade and especially sharp cutting edge that’s great for cutting fruits and vegetables. This knife set is backed by a lifetime warranty. Dishwasher safe, though hand washing is recommended. Made in Japan.
What’s in the Box
Kai Wasabi Black 10-piece knife block set with 8-inch chef’s, 9-inch bread, 6-1/2-inch Nakiri, 6-1/2-inch Santoku, 9-1/2-inch Yanagiba, 4-inch paring, and 6-inch utility knives; sharpening steel; kitchen shears; bamboo knife block
This is a good set of knives, they cut very well and are nice and light weight. They seem to be a good quality set and they cut very well through about anything. They are a bit sharp to hold where the handle meets the blade and can dig into you while you use them. The knife block is of poor design in that the shears poke out the bottom and hit the counter top unless you let the shears catch the block on the rivet on the side of them. This is a major flaw in the block, so I recommend a small piece of cutting board or Plexiglas, etc under the block so you do not damage your counter.
Overall a good knife set, sharp, easy to use, attractive, and reasonably priced despite the uncomfortable grip and poor block design.
