📋 Description

Kai Wasabi Black – Flexible Filleting Knife 18 cm (art. 6761F)

The Kai Wasabi Black 18 cm flexible filleting knife (art. 6761F) is a professional tool designed for filleting fresh fish and delicate meats. The high-carbon stainless steel blade, tempered to 58 (±1) HRC, guarantees an exceptionally sharp edge, corrosion resistance and optimal flexibility to follow the fish bone and meat contours, minimising waste.

Blade: Japanese flexibility and sharpness

The 18 cm blade, with a narrow and flexible profile, is coated in matte black: the coating reduces friction during cutting and imparts a professional aesthetic consistent with the Wasabi Black line. The symmetrical sharpening makes it suitable for both right and left-handed cuts without compromising performance.

Ergonomic PP handle for long sessions

The 12.5 cm grip in black polypropylene (PP) is slip-resistant and moisture-resistant: essential characteristics in professional kitchens where knife control must remain constant even after hours of work. The total weight of 84 g ensures precise balance between blade and handle, limiting operator fatigue.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Kai Wasabi Black 18 cm filleting knife suitable for beginners or only for professional chefs?

The slip-resistant PP handle at 12.5 cm and the lightweight 84 g weight make it manageable even for those approaching quality Japanese cutlery for the first time.

Which types of fish is the 18 cm flexible blade most suitable for?
