The Wasabi Black series has its roots in everyday Japanese cuisine. Thanks to a successful combination of long-term functionality and sharpness, robust material quality, and minimalist design, the numerous knives in this series are designed for simple and continuous use and impress with their impressive price-performance ratio. Finally, the series owes its easy handling to the water-resistant plastic handle, whose pleasant feel has been achieved by adding bamboo powder. The black matt handle and polished blade made of 1K6 stainless steel are permanently bonded together, preventing the accumulation of dirt.
