The 15-degree sharpening angle (compared to 20 to 25 degrees for an ordinary knife) will allow you to slice and mince without ever crushing even the most delicate ingredients, so that they retain all their flavor.
All knives in KOTAI's Pakka Damascus collection are forged from AUS-10 steel, a superior quality steel that combines a high carbon content for edge hardness and longevity with the optimal amount of chromium to prevent oxidation.
The hidden full tang – a single piece of steel running from the tip of the blade to the end of the handle – gives the knives ideal balance and exceptional durability.
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the hammering of the "Tsuchime" (槌目) blade creates tiny air pockets between the blade and the food slices. This ancient Japanese method prevents food from sticking to the blade, resulting in a smooth and quick cut.
