    Qualità ottima ma poco c'entra un coltello per il pane con lo stile giapponese

    KOTAI è una giovane azienda francese che produce coltelli non professionali di ottima qualità, con una particolare ispirazione al mondo delle lame giapponesi. La sua linea più nota, alla quale appartiene questo coltello seghettato da pane, si caratterizza per l'utilizzo di legno Pakka per il manico ed una lama con una lavorazione martellata immediatmente riconoscibile. Qualitativamente siamo davanti davvero ad un ottimo coltello, realizzato utilizzando acciaio inox 440C con una percentuale di carbonio dello 0,95% così da conferire resistenza ed un'affilatura di lunga durata alla lama e con un bilanciamento praticamente perfetto tra manico e lama per rendere l'utilizzo davvero confortevole. Il taglio è netto e preciso, anche se effettuato su pani con crosta particolarmente dura o, peggio, morbidi e senza mai strappare come avviene con un coltello poco affiltato o una lama di bassa qualità. Il legno pakka utilizzato per il manico, poi, garantisce un buon grip anche con mani umide ed una grande resistenza all'attacco di funghi o batteri. Ma allora perché non 5 stelle? Semplicemente perché avrei preferito che KOTAI avesse mantenuto una certa coerenza nello stile dei suoi coltelli ed avesse pensato magari una linea differente per i coltelli spiccatamente occidentali (come questo o lo spelucchio, ad esempio) per distinguerli dalla produzione ispirata al Giappone come il Santoku ma si tratta di un parere legato al mio gusto personale per cui se non vedete questo aspetto come un problema, potete tranquillamente aggiungere una stella alla valutazione!

    Cortes limpios

    El producto consiste en una caja de madera con cierre por imán, abrazada por un fajín con una escena japonesa, cuyo contenido es el cuchillo, una funda de madera tintada en ***** y un certificado de autenticidad. Este cuchillo de alta gama viene colocado sobre unos huecos a medida dentro de la caja con la parte de la hoja imantada para evitar que se mueva. Viene con una cubierta de punta de cuchillo para evitar dañarla según el tipo de corte y superficie que se use. Se compone de una hoja dentada de 20cm de largo con pequeñas hendiduras (alveolos) para facilitar el corte y un mango de madera de pakka (madera de arce o abedul aglomerada con resina transparente) que le da un toque elegante y sofisticado al cuchillo. Nos encontraremos con el logo de la marca sobre la propia hoja así como en el culo del mango. Su diseño es ergonómico y cuenta con una buena distribución del peso y es muy fácil de limpiar. En cuanto a su uso he probado con diferentes panes y algunas verduras. El hecho de que la hoja cuente con esta distribución de alveolos hace que los alimentos no se queden pegados al cuchillo bajo ningún concepto y los cortes son extremadamente limpios y fáciles de realizar, casi sin esfuerzo. El resultado que ofrece es espectacular pero creo que para el día a día salvo que te dediques a la restauración o seas fan de la marca no es un cuchillo para ti. Considero mejor invertir en cuchillos para otros alimentos.

    Material profesional

    Estamos probando en casa el que probablemente será uno de los mejores cuchillos de pan que puedas comprar, material totalmente profesional, forjado a mano en el mejor acero inoxidable japones. Como cualquier material profesional su precio puede parecer desorbitado para la mayoría de los mortales, pero estamos hablando de acero forjado a mano para una dureza excepcional y un magnifico filo, estamos hablando de un cuchillo que compraras una vez en la vida y heredarán tus hijos en perfectas condiciones. Ya la presentación es un deleite, en una caja de bambú con tapa deslizante y cierre con imanes que lo que te dice es que no has comprado un cuchillo cualquiera. Si que he hechado de manos algún tipo de triplicó con información sobre como se hace o su tradición, que es algo que este tipo de productos suelen traer y la verdad que solo trae una targetita que dice básicamente que te has comprado el mejor cuchillo que te podías comprar pero no explica por que. Ya el cuchillom en la mano es una gozada, lijero y equilibrado. En su hoja puedes observar los restos de golpeteo de forjado a mano al más puro estilo del acero de damasco, salvando las distancias de que en el acero de damasco lo que ves son las betas de los diferentes aceros usados en su elaboración y aquí ver los últimos golpes que se le dieron al forjarlo. Además estos agujeros también cumplen una función que es la de oxigenar el corte para que los alimentos no se peguen a la hoja, esto viene muy bien al cortar por ejemplo vizcocho, y es casi imprescindible en un buen cuchillo para el pescado. Después te llamara la atencion el mango, como no podía se de otro modo en este nivel de calidad, en madera noble, en este caso parece ébano. Y ya en uso la verdad que es una gozada, corte siempre suave, sin deshilachar, lo que viene a ser la perfección que te da una herramienta profesional de esta categoría. Ojo eso si con el afilado de este tipo de cuchillos, aunque es probable que no te acuerdes de cuando los has comprado cuando te toque, pero ha de hacerse con una muela redonda, creo que es evidente el por que. En fin, la cosa esta bastante clara, si buscas un cuchillo normal olvidalo, pero si buscas material profesional que probablemente te sobreviva, estos cuchillos son para ti.

    Die Klinge gleitet durch das Brot

    Ich besitze keine Brotmaschine und schneide mein Brot per Hand. Bislang hatte ich nur ein günstiges Brotmesser. Doch gerade bei krustigem Schwarzbrot kam das günstige Messer stets an seine Grenzen. Also mußte ein ordentliches Messer her. Das KOTAI Brotmesser ist ein Game Changer. Unser geliebtes krustige Schwarzbrot kann nun ordentlich und mühelos geschnitten werden. Die Klinge gleitet durch das Brot und auch bei der Kruste muss ich keinen Kraftaufwand mehr betreiben. Das Messer liegt sehr gut in der Hand und lässt sich gut führen. Nach jeder Nutzung reinige ich das Messer von Hand. Das mache ich mit all meinen hochwertigen Messern so. Danach verstaue ich das Messer wieder in die wunderschöne Holzbox. Man kann das Messer auch mit dem Klingenschutz aus Holz lagern, aber mir gefällt die Holzbox sehr gut und ich möchte sie deshalb auch nutzen. Fazit: Es hat sich gezeigt, das ein hochwertiges Brotmesser doch sein Geld wert ist. Es ist wirklich ein großer Unterschied zu einem normalen Messer. Das Brotmesser von Kotai gefällt mir sehr gut und erfüllt meine Erwartungen.

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    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.

    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.

    We believe that a good knife should be a chef's trusted partner for life.

    That is why we are proud to stand behind our knives with a lifetime warranty.

    If you find that your knife has any manufacturing defect, you may contact us at help@kotaikitchen.com and we will repair or replace it for free.
