Damascus Steel and Blade Detail

The Kotetsu features a handcrafted Japanese VG10 Damascus steel blade designed to provide an excellent combination of sharpness, strength, durability, corrosion resistance, and edge retention.

Its layered Damascus construction creates a distinctive flowing pattern across the blade. Through the forging, layering, and finishing process, subtle variations develop naturally in the steel, giving every Kotetsu its own individual appearance.

Designed in the traditional Japanese Nakiri style, the broad blade and relatively straight cutting edge provide excellent cutting-board contact and control. This profile is particularly well suited for chopping vegetables, slicing fruits, mincing herbs, and handling everyday kitchen preparation.

Scales & Handle

The handle is crafted from exotic rosewood and resin composite, combining the warmth and natural grain of rosewood with the distinctive appearance and durability of resin.

The handle is carefully shaped, finished, and sealed to help protect the natural wood against moisture, cracking, and drying while providing a comfortable and secure grip during extended kitchen use.
