Thai Stainless Steel Kitchen Knife Kiwi # 173 (1)

One of my cheapest and favorite knives. Softer carbon steel is much easier to keep very sharp. Bought another for a friend. She loves it too!

I have a lot of kitchen knives. Some of them were crazy expensive.... These Thai made knives are nothing short of amazing. Sharp, well balanced, easy to sharpen and CHEAP! I use these more on a daily basis than any of the "premium" knives that I own.

The knives are lighter than anticipated and lack durability, yet they boast sharpness. Despite this, they represent good value for the price paid.

Nice very sharp blade that is amazing for cutting veg. The blade is slightly curved so it makes it easy to slice vegetables with a short forward and down thrust. The blade and handle seem to be holding up well to moderate use and dishwasher cleaning.

I cooked with a Kiwi knife for years while I lived in Thailand. The first thing I noticed about this knife when it arrived was how thin the metal is - much thinner than what I had before. So thin that I can easily bend the tip with just my fingers. The plus side is that with a blade this thin it's very easy to filet things and make paper-thin slices. I'll probably get another Kiwi that's a little bit thicker but I'm very happy to keep this one.

Excellent product and an unsung hero in the kitchen. Sharp and medium weight, easy to use. Not fancy, but does a great job.

So this knife is not fancy BUT is light, durable, easy to handle. I have many other expensive knives in our kitchen BUT we end up using the same one which is this kiwi knife. We bought not only for us but we bought a lot for our friends and family.

A wonderful piece of steel that takes a razor sharp edge, and for a price that is hard to believe. I bought one at the Oriental market in Denver a few years back for $3, and found it is still being made. I'm buying a couple more.
