Beyond the aesthetic appeal, the hammering of the “Tsuchime” (槌目) blade creates small air pockets between the blade and the slices of food.
This ancient Japanese method prevents food from sticking to the blade for a pleasant and quick cutting experience.
The Santoku's thin blade allows you to slice and mince without ever crushing even the most delicate ingredients, preserving their full flavor. Furthermore, the dimpled blade reduces friction between the knife and the food being cut, preventing it from sticking.
The KOTAI Santoku is forged from 440C 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 Santoku ideal balance and exceptional durability.
Composition: 440C steel blade, black pakkawood handle, bamboo box, bamboo saya
