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.

Key features

• High-carbon stainless steel blade hardened to 58 (±1) HRC
• Symmetrical edge suitable for both right- and left-handed cutting
• Non-slip polypropylene handle, resistant to moisture
• 84 g weight ensures precise balance between blade and handle
• Narrow, flexible blade profile finished in matte black reduces friction during cutting

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.
