Your Questions, Answered

Where are the knives made?

The Hashi range is manufactured in the city of Seki, Japan. It has been a city of blacksmiths for several centuries and hosts an annual knife festival every fall.

→ Learn more.

What is the purpose of hammering on kitchen knife blades?

The tsuchime hammered finish creates small air pockets that reduce food sticking to the blade, making cutting easier and cleaner. It also adds an aesthetic element to the knife.

→ Learn more.

What’s the difference between single-layer steel and Damascus steel?

Damascus steel provides a sharper edge while also protecting the knife from impacts thanks to multiple layers of steel wrapped around a central core. However, this manufacturing method is more expensive and time-consuming compared to a single-layer steel blade, which is still perfectly suitable for home or professional use.

How does the lifetime warranty work?

We believe a good knife should be a chef’s trusted companion for life.

That is why we proudly back our knives with a lifetime warranty.

If you discover a manufacturing defect, simply contact us at help@kotaikitchen.com and we will repair or replace your knife free of charge.

In addition to our lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects, you are also covered by a 90 day money back guarantee in case your KOTAI knife does not meet your expectations.

Try a KOTAI knife with complete peace of mind and return it within 90 days if it is not right for you. No questions asked.

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

A cheap knife often ends up costing you more over time. It can break or lose its sharpness quickly, and low-quality steel simply will not hold an edge, no matter how many hours you spend sharpening it. Sooner or later, you may find yourself buying a new knife every year.

There are many inexpensive knives on the market that do not meet even basic standards, and very few affordable options for passionate home cooks who need reliable tools to support their craft or hobby without paying extra just for a brand name. Choose a KOTAI knife today and invest in a lifetime of safe, enjoyable cooking.
