Sharpness VS. Comfort
Japanese knives are sharp, precise and beautiful, but fragile, prone to chipping and oxidation.
Western knives are sturdy, durable and rust-resistant, but lack the acute blade edges and nimbleness of their Asian counterparts.
We believe that you should not have to choose. KOTAI offers you the best of both worlds, so you don't have to compromise.
Handmade by Master Knifemakers
High-end 440C and AUS-10 Japanese steel is used by third-generation expert bladesmiths to handcraft flawless, durable and beautiful knives.
Each KOTAI knife requires 138 steps and over 2 months to be made before going through rigorous testing.
