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
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 Kotetsu Type 3 has a cutting-type appearance that makes it closer to a regular kitchen knife. Some discerning craftsmen prefer carbon steel knives, and this is the knife for them.
About Santoku knives
A Santoku knife is also known as an "all-purpose knife" that combines the features of a vegetable knife and a chef's knife, and is suitable for cutting a wide range of ingredients, including not only vegetables and fruits, but also meat and fish. Having just one Santoku knife is very convenient.
What is Aogami Super Steel?
This is one of the Yasugi steels produced by Hitachi Metals. The steels generally used for blades are blue paper steel and white paper steel, but blue paper super steel is the most expensive of these and is said to be the pinnacle of steel.
In addition to its toughness and hardness, it is also highly wear-resistant, making it a popular steel material with hardness comparable to that of high-speed stainless steel.
