What is Damascus steel?

Damascus steel, or pattern-welded steel, is created using a technique that involves layering a central core of very hard, sharp steel with multiple layers of softer steel that improve the finished product’s resistance to impacts and drops. This layering process creates a unique wave-like pattern on each blade.

KOTAI uses 67-layer Damascus steel: one central core layer and 33 layers on each side of the blade.

Why choose pakkawood?

Pakkawood, or pakka wood, is often used in the design of kitchen utensils because it offers several advantages.Its texture feels comfortable in hand and doesn’t slip, even when wet, unlike steel handles.In addition, it is less prone to rotting or swelling than traditional wood and won’t splinter.

Pakkawood ages well over time, making it a logical choice for durable and robust knives.
