What is Kotetsu?

The name "Koutetsu" comes from the name of a warship called "Koutetsukan," which is covered entirely in armor. In Japan, it refers to a real warship also known as "Toushin."

The design of Kotetsu is the result of pursuing everything that is desired in a knife.
It wasn't originally created with the image of an ironclad warship in mind. The shape allows pressure to be distributed evenly from the base to the tip of the blade, the desired movement is transmitted to the tip of the blade, the feeling of placing your index finger on the ridge, and the familiar feeling when holding the handle. After repeated adjustments, this shape was finally determined to be what was desired for a knife.

Please try out the sharpness of the Kotetsu knife, which can easily cut through paper and tough raw carrots.

Product outline

The handle has been changed from a Jarrah octagonal handle to a rosewood octagonal handle.

This is a knife from our own brand, "Koutetsu."

Kotetsu is our first brand, created through a continuous pursuit of functional beauty in all aspects of material, shape, and ease of use. Aiming to create a knife that cuts as desired, Kotetsu was born as a result of thoroughly eliminating waste.

The Battleship knife is easy to use when cutting with a rolling motion, similar to the crescent or half-moon knives found in Europe. However, the curve of the blade is less pronounced than that of the specialized European knives, so that it can also be used in the same way as a kitchen knife.

I think it can also be used as a substitute for a Santoku knife or Gyuto knife.

The steel used is SG2 powder high-speed steel, which is rust-resistant and easy to maintain.

What is SG2 powder high-speed steel?

This is the highest quality stainless steel. The uniform structure created by spraying powder ensures sharp cutting and long-lasting sharpness. It is rust-resistant and hygienic, so you can use it with confidence.
