Gyuto Chef’s Knife 20 cm - Hashi Tsuchime Collection

The Gyuto (牛刀), meaning "beef knife" in Japanese, is the equivalent of a chef’s knife, agile and well balanced for a comfortable grip, capable of cutting everything except bones and frozen foods.

A hybrid between a Japanese and German blade profile, the Gyuto has a slightly rounded curve that allows a rocking motion for effortless chopping and slicing, while its lowered tip makes precision cutting easier.

Japanese molybdenum stainless steel, thanks to its higher-than-average carbon content, helps the blade retain its sharpness for longer than ordinary knives. The addition of chromium to the steel alloy makes the blade stainless, easy to use and maintain.

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the “Tsuchime” (槌目) hammering of the blade creates small air pockets between the blade and slices of food.

This ancient Japanese method prevents food from sticking to the blade for pleasant, quick cutting.

Made in Seki, Japan’s knife-making capital, known worldwide for its high-quality blades and 800 years of forging expertise, each Hashi knife is a symbol of minimalist culinary craftsmanship, offering a cutting experience that is as refined as it is functional.

HASHI - KOTAI’s new collection

Awaken your culinary creativity with KOTAI’s new Hashi (橋, bridge) knife collection. Essential, accessible and designed for easy maintenance, this range embodies simplicity, ideal for passionate cooking enthusiasts.

Made in Seki, Japan’s knife-making capital, world-renowned for its high-quality blades and the expertise of its blacksmiths for 800 years, each knife is a symbol of minimalist culinary craftsmanship, offering a cutting experience that is as refined as it is functional.

Based on its motto, “A bridge to go beyond”, the Hashi collection is inspired by the different forms taken by water and applies this allegory of “water adapting to its environment” to all its knives to highlight their versatility. It is therefore available in three distinct editions: Classic, Tsuchime and Damascus, with each knife carefully designed to offer you a unique experience tailored to your different culinary needs.

Hashi Tsuchime range

As its name suggests, the Hashi Tsuchime range offers Japanese knives in stainless molybdenum steel, whose hammered blade (槌目 “tsuchime”) echoes the pebbles in waterways, particularly those of the Itadori River in Seki.

In addition to its aesthetic appeal, the hammering makes quick cutting easier thanks to small air pockets that prevent food from sticking to the blade.
