Review on πŸ”ͺ KAI Personal Steak / Gentleman's Knife - Manual Folding Japanese Pocketknife with Leather Sheath, 3.25 Inch Blade - Silver & Black Handle, KAS5702 by Bam Reeder

Stainless alternative to expensive carbon

My friend has a Shun, he was bragging about it. I had to get it to show it on the price tag. The handle material is different, but the real difference between the two is that Kia is made of 420 stainless steel while Shun is made of carbon steel. High carbon steel will hold an edge better. Stainless steel is slightly softer and therefore dulls more quickly. But it is also very easy to sharpen. So save $70 and remember to sharpen your Kia knife every few times.

Pros
  • Finally bought
Cons
  • Clarity
