Slices all types of food effortlessly for a clean and precise cut that preserves all the flavor of the ingredients. - HAMMERED FINISH: Called β€œTsuchime” in Japanese, this hammering technique is handmade by KOTAI craftsmen. In addition to its unique aesthetic qualities, this reduces friction and allows food to stick less to the blade while cutting. - COMFORT AND PRECISION: KOTAI's Gyuto knife is a hybrid between a Japanese and a German blade profile, the slightly curved belly allows a rocking motion for effortless chopping and mincing while the lowered tip makes precision work easier. The hand-polished, round pakkawood handle ensures a firm and comfortable grip, even with wet hands, for right-handed and left-handed persons. - DURABLE AND HYGIENIC: Pakkawood is a water-resistant technical wood that prevents bacteria and splinters normally present in wooden handles. Full hidden tang - A single piece of steel from the tip of the blade to the end of the handle provides the Paring Knife an ideal balance and extraordinary durability. - EASY MAINTENANCE: Blade forged from a unique alloy of Japanese 440C steel containing 17% chrome to prevent rust. Your purchase of a KOTAI knife is protected by a LIFETIME WARRANTY, plus a hassle-free 90-day return warranty. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01N5D5GDA | | Best Sellers Rank | 1,915,611 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) 897 in Chef's Knives | | Blade Colour | Silver | | Blade Edge | Plain | | Blade Material Type | High Carbon Stainless Steel 440C | | BladeLength | 20 Centimetres | | Brand Name | KOTAI | | Colour | Silver, Black | | Construction Type | Forged | | Country Of Origin | France | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (146) | | Handle Material | Pakkawood | | Included Components | 1 x Knife | | Is the item dishwasher safe? | No | | Item Length | 8 Inches | | Item Type Name | Chef's Knife | | Item Weight | 0.17 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | KOTAI | | Manufacturer Part Number | 708999026376 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Lifetime. | | Material Type | High Carbon Stainless Steel | | Model Number | 708999026376 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Size | 20 cm | | UPC | 708999026376 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Blade edge:** Plain - **Blade material:** High Carbon Stainless Steel 440C - **Brand:** KOTAI - **Colour:** Silver, Black - **Handle material:** Pakkawood ## Images ![Kotai | Chef's Knife Gyuto | Professional Chef's Knife | Japanese Chef's Knife | 20 cm Blade | Hand Forged Knives | Ultra-Sharp 440C Japanese Stainless Steel | Pakkawood Handle | Full Hidden Tang - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71-uBCvtSEL.jpg) ## Frequently Bought Together - KOTAI | Chef's Knife Gyuto | Professional Chef's Knife | Japanese Chef's Knife | 20 cm Blade | Hand Forged Knives | Ultra-Sharp 440C Japanese Stainless Steel | Pakkawood Handle | Full Hidden Tang - KOTAI | Bunka Santoku Knife | 17 cm Blade | Multi-Purpose Knife | Hand Sharpened and Forged | Ultra-Sharp 440C Japanese Stainless Steel | Ebonywood Handle | Full Hidden Tang - SHAN ZU Sharpening Stone, Whetstone with Angle Guide Non-Slip Bamboo Base grit 1000/6000 Knife Sharpeners, Professional 2-in-1 Wetstone --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/196201263-kotai-chefs-knife-gyuto-professional-chefs-knife-japanese-chefs-knife](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/196201263-kotai-chefs-knife-gyuto-professional-chefs-knife-japanese-chefs-knife) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-10-22*
