KTSG006D Kotai Damascus serrated bread knife

Kotai serrated bread knife 20 cm blade in 67 layers Damascus steel

The essential bread knife for cutting your bread and brioches without crushing them. You can also cut tomatoes, roasts and watermelons without damaging the inside, thanks to its serrated blade.
Blade in 67-layer Damascus stainless steel with AUS-10 high carbon content and full hidden tang. Blade hardness HRC 61+/-1, which has been used for three generations to make superb, long-lasting knives. You can see a hammered pattern on the blade called "Tsuchime" to create small pockets of air between the blade and the food. This reduces resistance by preventing food from sticking to the blade. It cuts like a razor blade.
The hidden full-silk handle in Pakkawood (a composite that resists temperature differences) is designed to let you effortlessly cut through the toughest foods while keeping your hand comfortable.
A 'Saya' bamboo blade guard is included, as well as a bamboo box for storage.
Each Kotai knife takes 138 steps and over two months to make.

To care for your Kotai Japanese knives, it is advisable to wash them by hand and avoid getting the handle wet. Avoid abrasive sponges, then use a clean and dry cloth and voilà! your knife is brand new and beautiful.

As the blade is hammered, avoid magnetic bars, as your knife may fall off as it will not stay in place and may crack.
Avoid the dishwasher and do not soak. Do not cut on hard surfaces (metal, marble...) use a wooden or soft plastic cutting board.
