If you're trying to cut through food with a tough "crust" without squashing the delicate insides, here's a knife for that.

Crunchy bread, tomatoes, rolls, watermelon, pineapple... Whatever you throw at it, the Kotai bread knife makes beautiful cuts thanks to its serrated blade.

In addition to its aesthetic appeal, the "Tsuchime" (槌目) (hammered) pattern creates small air bubbles between the knife and the food being cut. This ancestral Japanese method reduces resistance, preventing food from sticking to the knife.

The thin 1.8mm blade allows for precise and sharp cuts, never crushing even the most delicate foods to preserve their full flavour.

The KOTAI bread knife blade is forged from Japanese 440C high carbon stainless steel and stays sharp up to 10 times longer than other knives. 440C combines a high carbon content for hardness and edge retention with the optimum amount of chromium for corrosion resistance.

Hidden Full Tang - KOTAI blades extend all the way to the bottom of the handle - for superior durability and balance.
