KOTAI | Chef's Santoku Knife | Professional Kitchen Knife | 18 cm Blade | Hand Sharpened | Ultra-Sharp 440C Japanese Stainless Steel | Pakkawood Handle | Full Hidden Tang

ULTRA SHARP: High carbon Japanese 440C stainless steel blade (1% carbon for a blade 3 times harder and sharper, and that stays that way longer). Slices all types of food effortlessly for a clean and precise cut that preserves all the flavor of the ingredients.

HAMMERED FINISH: Called “Tsuchime” in Japanese, this hammering technique is handmade by KOTAI craftsmen. In addition to its unique aesthetic qualities, this reduces friction and allows food to stick less to the blade while cutting.

COMFORT AND PRECISION: The Santoku’s thin blade allows for precise and sharp cuts, never crushing even the most delicate food to preserve their full flavor. The hand-polished, round pakkawood handle ensures a firm and comfortable grip, even with wet hands, for right-handed and left-handed persons.

DURABLE AND HYGIENIC: Pakkawood is a water-resistant technical wood that prevents bacteria and splinters normally present in wooden handles. Full hidden tang - A single piece of steel from the tip of the blade to the end of the handle provides the Paring Knife an ideal balance and extraordinary durability.

EASY MAINTENANCE: Blade forged from a unique alloy of Japanese 440C steel containing 17% chrome to prevent rust. Your purchase of a KOTAI knife is protected by a LIFETIME WARRANTY, plus a hassle-free 90-day return warranty.
