Features
11-inch blade — the most powerful and reach-capable knife in the Kiwi range at Kaka Bawa Sons; at 11 inches the blade is a genuine large-format kitchen knife that enters carving knife territory, covering substantially more ingredient surface area in each cutting stroke than any other knife in the range; the extra blade length is most directly valuable for tasks that require long, continuous cutting strokes: carving a whole roasted leg of lamb, chicken, or beef joint from end to end in one controlled movement; slicing a whole fish lengthwise; breaking down large cuts of meat into portions; slicing large cabbages, watermelons, or pumpkins; and any high-volume prep task in a professional kitchen where covering surface area quickly and consistently is as important as precision
Professional-grade performance for everyday practicality — the Kiwi 197 is described as combining professional-grade performance with everyday practicality, which reflects a core strength of the Kiwi brand: making professional-quality kitchen tools accessible at price points that home cooks can actually buy and use daily; at PKR 830 with a PKR 1,000 compare-at price, the 197 delivers an 11-inch professional-grade carving knife at a fraction of the cost of comparable European or Japanese carving knives of similar quality, making it an exceptional value proposition for home cooks who entertain regularly and need a serious carving knife for festive meals, Eid celebrations, and large family gatherings
Corrosion-resistant stainless steel blade with lasting edge retention — the blade is constructed from stainless steel engineered to resist corrosion and rust through regular exposure to water, meat juices, fish brine, vegetable moisture, and the acidic ingredients common in everyday Pakistani and South Asian cooking; the blade is also built to maintain its sharp edge through regular kitchen work, meaning it stays performing at a consistently high level between sharpenings and requires less frequent maintenance than lower-quality knife steels, which is a meaningful practical advantage in a knife this size that will be used for demanding cutting tasks
Ergonomic handle for controlled comfort during extended use — handling an 11-inch blade requires a handle that provides a secure, authoritative grip that keeps the cook in confident control at full blade length; the ergonomic handle of the Kiwi 197 is designed to distribute grip pressure evenly and comfortably across the palm and fingers during extended use, preventing the hand and wrist fatigue that develops when carving or slicing with a large knife over a sustained period, such as during the preparation of a full Eid feast or a large family dinner where multiple large cuts need to be portioned and served
Precision cutting across meats, vegetables, and seafood — the 197 handles the full range of large-format cutting tasks in a home or professional kitchen: carving roasted and grilled meats including lamb, beef, and chicken; portioning raw meat and poultry for cooking; slicing whole fish and large fish fillets; cutting and portioning large vegetables including cabbages, cauliflowers, pumpkins, and melons; and general high-volume prep work in a professional kitchen environment where a large, sharp, controllable kitchen knife is a daily essential
Built to last through regular kitchen work — the robust stainless steel construction of the Kiwi 197 is engineered for durability through the sustained demands of regular kitchen use; a knife at this size and price point should be a long-term kitchen investment rather than a disposable tool, and the Kiwi 197’s construction is designed to deliver consistent performance across years of regular daily use in both home and professional kitchen environments
Kiwi brand trusted quality at an exceptional price — Kiwi is one of the most trusted kitchen knife brands across South and South-East Asia, and the 197 represents the brand’s flagship large-format knife offering at Kaka Bawa Sons; compared to similarly sized carving and kitchen knives from European or premium Asian knife brands, the Kiwi 197 delivers professional-grade blade quality and performance at a price that makes a serious 11-inch kitchen knife genuinely accessible for everyday home use
Outstanding gift for serious cooks and entertainers — an 11-inch Kiwi kitchen and carving knife is a genuinely impressive and immediately useful gift for any home cook who entertains, hosts large family gatherings, or prepares Eid feasts; it is a premium practical gift that will be used and appreciated at every large meal and is well-suited as a high-value Eid gift, a housewarming gift for a serious cooking household, a corporate gift, or a flagship addition to a Kiwi knife collection
