Features

• 12-inch professional-grade chef knife blade — at 12 inches the Kiwi 188 is a full-size professional chef knife, the longest and most capable blade in the entire Kiwi range at Kaka Bawa Sons; a 12-inch chef knife is the preferred choice of professional chefs and serious home cooks who work with large volumes of ingredients, frequently prep large cuts of meat or whole poultry, and want a single, authoritative knife that handles the complete range of kitchen prep tasks — slicing, dicing, chopping, mincing, and carving — with maximum efficiency and minimum effort; the 12-inch blade covers substantially more ingredient surface per stroke than any other knife in the range, making each cut faster, more consistent, and less tiring at high volumes
• The most versatile knife type — a chef knife is the single most essential and versatile knife in any kitchen, designed to handle the widest possible range of cutting tasks from a single blade; unlike a paring knife which specialises in close-up detail work, a carving knife which specialises in long slicing strokes, or a serrated knife which specialises in crusty or fibrous foods, a chef knife is optimised for all of these tasks and is the knife a professional cook reaches for first for the majority of kitchen prep work; at 12 inches the Kiwi 188 delivers this universal versatility at maximum blade length, making it the single most capable knife in the Kiwi range
• Sharp, versatile stainless steel blade — the blade is crafted from durable stainless steel that delivers a sharp, precise cutting edge across the full range of ingredients a chef knife encounters in daily kitchen use: slicing raw and cooked meats including beef, lamb, chicken, and fish; dicing and chopping vegetables including onions, tomatoes, peppers, aubergines, and potatoes; finely mincing herbs including coriander, mint, and parsley; breaking down whole poultry; and all the general prep tasks that form the foundation of daily cooking in a home or professional kitchen environment
• Ergonomic handle for extended professional use — a 12-inch chef knife requires a handle that provides a secure, balanced, and authoritative grip throughout the sustained cutting sessions that professional cooking and serious home cooking demand; the ergonomic handle of the Kiwi 188 is designed to distribute grip pressure evenly and comfortably across the palm and fingers during extended use, maintaining confident control at the full 12-inch blade length and preventing the hand and wrist fatigue that develops during long prep sessions with a large knife; the ergonomic design also supports the pinch grip technique used by professional chefs, where the thumb and forefinger pinch the base of the blade rather than gripping the handle, which is the most controlled and efficient way to use a chef knife at this size
• Built to last — the Kiwi 188 is specifically described as gift-ready and built to last, reflecting a construction standard intended for the long term rather than for short-term use; a chef knife at this size and price point should be a lasting kitchen investment that delivers consistent performance across years of regular daily use, and the durable stainless steel construction of the 188 is engineered to meet this standard through the sustained demands of a serious home kitchen or professional kitchen environment
• Exceptional value for a professional-grade chef knife — at PKR 960 with a compare-at price of PKR 1,065, the Kiwi 188 delivers a 12-inch professional-grade chef knife at a price that is dramatically lower than comparable chef knives from European or premium Japanese knife brands of similar blade length and quality; this exceptional value proposition is a defining quality of the Kiwi brand and makes the 188 the most accessible professional-grade large chef knife available at Kaka Bawa Sons
• Gift-ready for serious cooks — a 12-inch professional chef knife is one of the most impressive and genuinely useful kitchen gifts available; the Kiwi 188 is gift-ready and ideal as a premium Eid gift for a cook who takes their kitchen seriously, a housewarming gift for a newly established home with a serious kitchen, a corporate gift for clients or colleagues who cook, or the flagship piece of a complete Kiwi knife collection gifted to a culinary student or professional chef
