About this product
The KOTAI Santoku Knife – 7-inch (Pakka Collection) delivers exceptional everyday precision, crafted to embody the Japanese “three virtues” by excelling with vegetables, meat, and fish. Handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail, this knife is engineered for comfort, sharpness, and balance, bringing professional grade performance into any home kitchen. At the heart of the knife is its high end 440C Japanese stainless-steel blade, containing twice as much carbon as many premium steels. This enhanced composition, combined with careful heat treatment to HRC 60 ± 1, ensures outstanding hardness and edge retention. The result is a razor sharp blade that maintains its cutting power use after use. Each Santoku is handmade, showcasing the precision and consistency that only skilled artisans can achieve. The blade features a traditional Tsuchime hammered finish, creating tiny air pockets along the surface. This treatment reduces friction, minimizes drag, and helps ingredients release cleanly from the blade, making every cut smoother and more efficient. A hidden full tang construction - a single piece of steel running through the handle - adds structural strength and provides perfect balance. This design enhances stability and gives cooks the confident control needed for both delicate slicing and tougher prep work. The knife’s hand polished pakkawood handle offers excellent weight distribution and a secure, comfortable grip. Whether you're preparing soft herbs or working through denser ingredients, the handle reduces wrist fatigue and supports precise control. With its thin profile, the blade delivers clean, accurate cuts without crushing delicate foods, preserving texture, flavor, and presentation. It’s a versatile and dependable tool suitable for both seasoned chefs and passionate home cooks. Every knife comes packaged with a bamboo Saya (blade guard) and a sustainably grown bamboo box, offering both safe storage and a premium, gift ready presentation that reflects the craftsmanship inside.
Ultra Sharp 440C Japanese Stainless Steel (HRC 60 ± 1)
The blade uses high end 440C Japanese steel with twice the carbon of other premium steels and is heat treated to HRC 60 ± 1 for long lasting sharpness.
All Purpose “Three Virtues” Blade

Thin Santoku Profile Preserves Texture & Flavor

Tsuchime (Hammered) Anti Stick Finish

Ergonomic, Hand Polished Pakkawood Handle & Full Hidden Tang
Designed for perfect weight distribution and comfort, the hand polished pakkawood handle helps you cut tougher foods without tiring your wrist. Built with a hidden full tang that runs through the handle, providing excellent balance, durability, and control in daily use.
