Minamoto Kotetsu Chef Knife by Yasuda Hamono

The Minamoto Kotetsu range of premium Japanese knives is known for their sharpness, durable steel, and excellent construction and performance—a perfect starting point for any cook or chef.

These knives feature 33 layers of Damascus VG10 steel, created through a unique forging process, resulting in a beautiful and elegant wave pattern known as the Damascus pattern.

The chef's knife in this collection is the multipurpose workhorse of the kitchen, perfect for tasks such as mincing, cutting, chopping, slicing, and general food preparation.

Seki-City, a small town with a history dating back 800 years, is globally renowned for its production of fine knives. Once a prosperous land known for Japanese swords, Seki gained recognition for the superior quality of its swords, earning a reputation as a sword-making center. The techniques and skills of traditional Japanese sword making have been passed down and continue to thrive in today’s modern cutlery industry.
