KOTAI means "solid" in Japanese. Durability and performance are the guiding values ​​of KOTAI. KOTAI founder Jeremie Plane wanted to acquire the perfect chef's knife, but realized that the knife world was basically divided into two. On one side were Japanese knives, which were sharp and beautiful, but also delicate and required maintenance. On the other side were Western knives, which were durable and rust-resistant, but not nearly as sharp as Asian knives. After two years of product development and numerous prototypes, KOTAI was born, which combines the best of Japanese and Western knives.
