    CHARACTERISTICS

    Rediscover cooking

    Rediscover the art of cooking with KOTAI knives. Experience the sharpness and precision of handcrafted blades made from the finest materials. Elevate your culinary creations to new heights with the perfect combination of tradition and modern innovation.

    Lasting performance

    440C has more than 2x the carbon content than other premium steels. The blade, heat treated to HRC 60 +/- 1 hardness, keeps its razor-sharp edge cut after cut.

    Ergonomically engineered

    The perfect weight distribution and hand-polished pakkawood handle have been designed for you to cut effortlessly through the toughest food without compromising on comfort.

    The “Tsuchime” (槌目) - hammered version features a hand-hammered blade.

    Aesthetically appealing and functional, the hammered pattern creates tiny pockets of air between the blade and the food being cut.

    This ancestral Japanese method reduces drag, thus preventing food from sticking to the blade.

    CHEF TESTIMONIALS

    Comfortable and well-balanced. I love the hand-hammered pattern on the blade. Excellent craftsmanship.

    Beau mais..

    J’ai commandé sur vente privée le set de couteaux, mais les couteaux sont arrivés vraiment très sale plein de poussière, de morceau de bois dessus, avec des morceaux de bois se balancent dans les boîtes. Dans certaines boites on ne pouvait pas ouvrir à cause du mauvais coulissement du bois, une protection du couteau a perdu son aimant du coup le couteau tombe de sa protection. Ce sont des beaux couteaux qui coupe mais à ce prix là aussi sale et les protections détériorées c’est dommage

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    What is the steel used for the blade? Will it rust?

    This knife is made of 440C steel from Japan. 440C is a high-carbon stainless steel, meaning that it combines the property of high-carbon steel (very hard due to the high carbon content of 0.95%+ and the vacuum heat treatment, therefore very sharp and able to keep its edge for much longer than other steels) and stainless steel (ability to resist corrosion and stains). So the blade will not rust, but you have to care for it properly by washing it with soapy water and drying it quickly after using it.

    Do not put it in the dishwasher or leave it to soak in the sink.

    Is it worth buying this knife or should I just get a 30€ knife from Ikea?

    A “cheap” knife will end up costing you more in the long run, because it can break or turn dull. Low quality steel will not keep a sharp edge no matter how many hours you waste on sharpening, and you will end up having to buy a new knife every year or so.

    There are plenty of “cheap” knives that cannot perform to decent standards and very few options for chefs who are passionate about cooking, need the right tools to assist them in their career or hobby but are not willing to overspend on a brand name. Get your KOTAI knife today for a lifetime of safe and delicious cooking.
