Its 21 cm blade, long and pointed, follows a continuous motion from back to front that cuts cleanly without needing to press.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy it's different\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Kai's 10000ST series, everything is stainless steel: the blade and the handle form a single piece, with no joint between them. There is no gap where water and residue could settle, as there is between a wooden handle and the metal. No decoration, no wood to look after: a kitchen tool reduced to the essentials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in Japan by Kai, based in Seki (Gifu Prefecture), a Japanese cutlery town.
