Review: Love this knife! - Really great knife! Stays sharp, but also sharpens like a dream when needed. The only thing I've noticed is it tends to flip with sharp side up which definitely is dangerous. 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. ## Features - SPECIALIZED BONING & FILLET KNIFE: The Kai PRO 5-inch Asian Multi-Prep Knife is expertly designed with a triangular blade perfect for maneuvering around bones and between joints, making it a must-have for any kitchen. - 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.

Stays sharp, but also sharpens like a dream when needed.

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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Kai PRO 5" Asian Multi Prep Knife, Hand Sharpened Japanese Boning Knife, Trimming Knife and Utility Knife, Japanese AUS6M Stainless Steel Blade, Full-Tang POM Handle, NSF Certified - HENCKELS Forged Accent Razor-Sharp 2-pc Paring Knife Set, German Engineered Informed by 100+ Years of Mastery,Black - Kai PRO Diamond and Ceramic Retractable Sharpener, Kitchen Knife Sharpener for Straight, Double-Bevel Blades, Easy to Use, Three-Step Knife Sharpening Process --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/71474183-kai-pro-5-asian-multi-prep-knife-hand-sharpened-japanese](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/71474183-kai-pro-5-asian-multi-prep-knife-hand-sharpened-japanese) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
