Description

A 21cm Damascus steel "Kiritsuke" chef's knife. The Kiritsuke is the equivalent of a French chef's knife, capable of cutting everything except bones and frozen foods. The Kiritsuke is recognizable by its angular, inverted blade profile (reverse Tanto profile); this particular geometry gives it greater precision than a classic rounded profile. A versatile knife, the Kiritsuke is the preferred model of many Japanese chefs.

Interestingly, in most fine restaurants only the head chef is authorized to use it; this is why the Kiritsuke is often considered a symbol of expertise and status. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the hammering of the blade, known as "Tsuchime" (槌目), creates small air pockets between the blade and the slices of food. This ancient Japanese technique prevents food from sticking to the blade, resulting in a smooth and efficient cut.

The KOTAI Damascus Kiritsuke is forged from AUS-10 steel, a premium steel that combines a high carbon content for edge hardness and longevity with the optimal amount of chromium to prevent oxidation. The full hidden tang—a single piece of steel extending from the tip of the blade to the end of the handle—gives the Kiritsuke ideal balance and exceptional durability. Japanese precision, Western robustness. The best of both worlds.

Damascus steel (or simply Damascus steel) is composed of a layer of very hard steel – in this case, AUS-10 – for the cutting edge, surrounded by 66 successive layers of softer steel to protect the inner layer. This type of blade combines the strengths of a very high-carbon steel – the AUS-10 core layer reaches a hardness of 61 HRC – with the advantages of softer steels, such as impact and corrosion resistance.

The blade, forged from 67 layers of steel, has exceptional cutting performance, while also benefiting from increased durability and resistance to chipping.

In addition to these mechanical properties, Damascus steel is prized because no two Damascus blades will have exactly the same patterns; each knife is unique.
