## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the max height of the blade at its belly?**
A: Hey there the max height of the blade at its belly is 58mm. 

Regards,
Bokashi Steel Support

**Q: Where are these made? In China?**
A: The materials are made with imported blades from Japan and are then crafted in a state-of-the-art facility within YangJing, China (a city renowned for knife crafting for nearly 1500 years) using imported Takefu Japanese AUS-10 super steel.

The blades have been specially heat treated, cold-rolled and annealed to reveal the unique layered pattern. Our expert knife makers under the supervision of the head foreman (who has been trained for over 40 years in Japanese knife making) spend multiple days on each knife, polishing the blades and handle then hand finishing and sharpening the blades.

We also use special processes such as Cryo-tempering which drastically improves the steels crystalline structure (making them much stronger). Our aim is to provide top line chef quality knives at an affordable price.

**Q: I have ordered these on facebook to get the 67 layers several months ago and have been promised delivery several times which they have yet to deliver**
A: I waited on mine for a few months. They’re made when you order but it’s definitely worth the wait!

**Q: Your facebook add has these knives for $60.00 ...and list 67 layers of steel.....yet you state here on Amazon 45 layers of steel....which one is it?..**
A: Good day! 
The Facebook ad is about our Classic Damascus Chef's Knife that has 67 layers while this  Kasai Series in Amazon is a different knife because it has 45 layers and we used imported Takefu Japanese AUS-10 super steel. The blades also have been specially heat treated, cold-rolled and annealed to reveal the unique layered pattern. We even use special processes such as Cryo-tempering which drastically improves the steels crystalline structure (making them much stronger). Thanks for your time. Have a great one!

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ First class knife that everyone should own.
*by B***E on April 16, 2018*

I've seen the advertisements for the Bokashi Kasai and thought it looked amazing. It has great reviews on their website and it definitely lived up to it's billing. The Kasai is sharper than any other knife I have used in the kitchen after 20 years as a professional chef. The blade is perfectly balanced and the AUS-10A steel cuts with razor edge precision. The 45 folded super steel layers leave a beautiful stain free pattern on the full tang blade like I have never seen before, all finished with a stunning pakawood handle and logo on the heel this knife is a true marvel to wield in the kitchen!

### ⭐⭐⭐ Pretty and decently sharp, very heavy leading to prep fatigue
*by W***E on May 21, 2018*

This is a very nice knife, its sharp and will cut through most everything for the traditional at home chef. It has an immense amount of heft to it which can be great but also brings me to giving its 3 star rating. Its functionality and beauty are both great for the traditional at home cook. I am a professional chef and have been working in and around kitchens for a significant period of my life. I have experienced many different knives and the functionality that different knives or types of steel bring to the table when using them. I wanted to give this knife a shot because I was looking for a nice middle of the road knife to use so I am not always using my favorite knife for most tasks. My go-to is my 8 inch mighty mac professional series which rings in just slightly less than this knife as far as purchase price. I love that knife it is well balanced, light, thin, comfortable, and very sharp as well as its ease to sharpen and length of time in which the blade holds an edge. The Bokashi chefs knife is rather heavy which leads to much earlier fatigue than normal. The overall width of the blade is not as thin as I was hoping for, the ability for it to cut an onion or tomato very thinly was much more difficult than I'd prefer for the cost of this knife. Comfort of the handle is wonderful as I have very large hands, it fits well. It is a big knife and those with small hands I feel may easily be let down by the size and weight of this knife. It is a very beautiful knife as I have received many compliments from colleagues. Out of the box it was not quite as sharp as I was hoping that it would be, coming in priced higher than my Mac I had a pretty fair benchmark for this knife to meet and as I am not disappointed, I find myself not being fully satisfied with my purchase of this knife. I could have saved my money and spent a little more on a knife with a known reputation. I dont know if I will just put this knife up on the shelf, or continue to use it and find where this knife outshines any of my other knives. I'd recommend for beginners but as a seasoned chef dont hold your expectations high as it being able to be justified by its price tag.

### ⭐⭐ Nice handle, balance and overall quality
*by A***K on May 15, 2018*

This knifes chraftsmanship is decent. Nice handle, balance and overall quality.. the factory edge on the other hand is extremely poor quality. I own many Japanese and German knives and have never bought a knife that was so dull fresh out of the box!For this reason I will not purchase a bukyashi product again..
