About this product
The KOTAI Gyuto is meticulously handmade using premium 440C Japanese stainless steel, containing twice the carbon of many other high end steels for superior hardness and edge retention. Heat treated to HRC 60 ±1, this blade remains razor sharp cut after cut, offering exceptional performance for slicing meats, vegetables, herbs, and more. Each blade features a traditional Japanese Tsuchime hammered pattern, creating tiny air pockets that reduce friction and prevent food from sticking. This not only enhances cutting efficiency but adds a distinctive artisanal aesthetic to your kitchen toolset. Designed for long prep sessions, the hand polished pakkawood handle provides a secure, comfortable grip while maintaining the perfect balance between blade and handle. Its weight distribution lets you glide effortlessly through even tough ingredients without fatigue. This Gyuto blends the nimble precision of Japanese knives with the strength and versatility of German chef knives. The slightly curved belly enables smooth rocking motions for chopping and mincing, while the lowered tip ensures controlled precision cuts for delicate tasks. Forged from a full piece of steel running through the handle, the Gyuto's hidden full tang construction offers exceptional strength, balance, and durability—built to withstand years of intensive kitchen use.
