Description
The Japanese Kotai Cutting Knife 440C high-carbon steel undergoes a high-tech vacuum heat treatment. This gives the knife the best possible mechanical properties, with an exceptional hardness of HRC 60 +/- 2 for excellent edge sharpness. Sharpened to a double grind giving the edge an optimal angle of 15˚ per side, KOTAI knives have a perfect balance between extreme sharpness and sturdiness. The best of both worlds.
About the Japanese Kotai Cutting Knife
The sharpness of the cut ensures that even the most delicate food is not bruised when chopping or slicing, preserving all the flavour. Hybrid between a Japanese and a German blade profile, the slightly curved belly allows a rocking motion for effortless chopping and slicing, while the lowered point facilitates precision work. Craftsmanship shows in the details. KOTAI knives all have an angled bolster, which is the easiest way to distinguish a forged blade from a punched blade. There should be no gap between the bolster and the handle for maximum hygiene and durability. Full tang - KOTAI blades extend all the way to the bottom of the handle - for superior durability and balance. High-quality professional knives will last a lifetime, during which they will be sharpened countless times. KOTAI knives have a partial bolster that, unlike the full bolster of most western knives, makes it possible to sharpen the blade over the entire length. Resin impregnated pakkawood handle designed to combine a natural look with extreme durability and a firm grip even with wet hands. No water absorption, no splinters, no bacteria.
