Your Questions, Answered

What is a bread knife used for?

The bread knife is very useful for cutting… bread. But not only that!Its serrated blade allows you to slice without crushing soft doughs such as pies, sponge cakes, pastries, and other baked goods, as well as soft fruits like peaches and tomatoes, and even harder foods like pineapple or pumpkin.→ Learn more.

What are the advantages of 440C steel?

440C steel from Aichi Steel is a high-carbon Japanese stainless steel: it is much less prone to rust than carbon steel. In addition, its heat treatment (also known as “tempering”) allows KOTAI knives to reach a hardness of HRC 60 ±1 without compromising toughness or impact resistance.

What is a bamboo blade guard used for?

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.
