Chefs Knife Gyoto Pakka 20cm Kotai

Chef's knife Gyoto Pakka 20cm

A wonderful Japanese Gyoto chef's knife from the Pakka collection made by Kotai, which combines the best features of both Japanese and German knives. Light, precise and razor-sharp like a Japanese knife, but stainless, durable and easy to sharpen and maintain like a German knife.

Gyuto is the Japanese equivalent of a traditional chef's knife. The Gyoto is agile and well balanced for a comfortable grip. It can cut anything except bones and frozen food. A hybrid of Japanese and German blade profiles, the slightly curved belly allows rocking movements for effortless chopping and grinding, while the lowered tip facilitates precise work.

Gyuto, which means "beef knife" in English, is the perfect tool for cutting meat (without bones). Gyoto is also very excellent for slicing herbs or cutting vegetables.

Gyuto is widely used in the culinary world, even among Western chefs who have adopted it for its versatility and ease of use.

The knives of the Pakka collection get their name from the characteristic round handles made of black pakka wood, which are complemented by a red G-10 ring. The hand-polished, round handles guarantee a comfortable and firm grip on the knives, even with wet hands. The knife has a Tsuchime blade (beautifully hammered) to ensure aesthetics and performance. The hammer pattern creates small air pockets between the blade and the food being cut. This traditional Japanese method reduces drag, preventing food from sticking to the blade.

The blades of the knives in the Pakka collection are forged from a high-quality metal alloy that combines a high carbon content to achieve hardness and durability and an optimal amount of chromium to prevent oxidation.

Pakka knives have a so-called full Tang - KOTAI blade, which continues hidden the entire length of the handle and guarantees durability and balance.

Each knife is carefully made 100% by hand.
