KS5700: Personal Folding Steak Knife

KAI

If you've ever been to a restaurant and struggled to cut your food with a dull knife served up with your meal, the answer is the KAI Personal Steak Knife. Kept discreetly in its own leather sheath in pocket or purse, this folding knife is lightweight and razor-sharp—and your dining dilemma is solved.

The design of the KAI Personal Steak Knife is based on the original Japanese-style folding pocket knife. Like the original, it opens easily with a slim, elegant lever, but with no spring assist. Unlike the original, this knife features a secure liner lock to ensure the blade stays safely open during use. The quality blade is made of Japanese 420J2 stainless steel with a beautiful finish. With its razor-sharp 16° cutting angle each side, the KAI Personal Steak Knife makes it easy to cut your food and helps make dining a pleasure. The handle is durable POM (a precision engineering thermoplastic) with a decorative inlaid crest reminiscent of Japanese family emblems. For easy storage, the knife folds to fit inside its own leather sheath.

Knife Center has an excellent selection of kitchen knives, kitchen accessories, cutlery, and kitchen gadgets.

Soft Serve...
I really love the fact that this knife is an excellent copy of the Shun version. Fit and finish is great. design and functionality is superb. The sheath is a fake leather, but what do you expect for $40? Still, its a good quality. But the "Meat" of the issue is the heart of the knife... The quality of the steel. This steel after one use, slicing meat on one ceramic plate, the edge becomes noticeably dull. you can feel it, doing the nail scrape test. Wherever the blade touches the plate, it will flatten (dull). You have to take a honing steel after every single use on a meal to keep it sharp. Yes, its only $40 bucks, and the fit and finish is admirable, but functionally, it becomes a huge issue to use it as a personal steak knife due to it's soft steel. I would say save some bucks (a meal or two in an overpriced steak restaurant) and get the Shun version. I tell ya, I thought repeatedly sharpening this soft steel was worth the cheap price, but not I'm thinking twice. Once again everything about this knife is spot on except the snow soft steel.

Cool knife, poor steel
This is a neat little steak knife and it’s well executed but let down by the 420J2 steel. It doesn’t hold an edge worth a dang, but the blade geometry will keep it functional and it’s easy to touch-up before a meal with a few passes on a Sharpmaker. Construction is otherwise as good or better than I expected for price. The blade in my sample sits a bit off center when closed, but not excessively. The handle is small compared to a steakhouse knife, which I think is fine but my wife doesn’t care for. If edge holding were a bit better, I would own a full table set. As it stands, I’m still shopping.

Happy To Have
My wife asked me if I would like this knife for my birthday last year and I said "Yes".I keep the knife with me in a belt pouch and that has worked as well as the knife itself. I have it with me when making unplanned meal stops while out and about.The knife opens easily, locks open and is comfortable in the hand. The blade slices through the meat with ease. I give the blade a wipe down after use with a hand wipe.My wife is happy that I am happy with the KAI 5700.
