The knives are 100% handmade and crafted from ultra-sharp Japanese 440C high-carbon stainless steel. The set features a hidden full tang, an ebony handle, and an HRC hardness of 60±1. Each knife weighs 90 g and is perfectly balanced. Additionally, a Bamboo Saya (sheath or knife cover) is included with each knife. Lifetime warranty on the knives. \u003ch2\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures that make the difference\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e These Bunka knives are ground to a double bevel, optimizing the edge at 15° per side (as opposed to the 20–25° common in many Western knives). This gives Kotai knives extreme sharpness and edge retention. The 1.8 mm thin blade thickness (1.5 mm for the paring knife) allows for extremely precise and sharp cuts, preserving the full flavor of even delicate foods. The Tsuchime-hammered pattern creates small air pockets between the knife and the food, reducing resistance and preventing food from sticking to the blade. All KOTAI knives are made from Japanese 440C high-carbon stainless steel, which provides a hard edge and excellent corrosion resistance. The weight and balance are designed to fit comfortably in the hand and allow for effortless control during long prep sessions. \u003ch2\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications in brief\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% handmade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUltra-sharp Japanese 440C high-carbon stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHidden full tang\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEbony handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHRC hardness: 60±1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 90 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfectly balanced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBamboo Saya (sheath) included with each knife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifetime warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGround to a double bevel: 15° per side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade thickness: 1.8 mm (1.5 mm for the paring knife)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTsuchime-hammered pattern reduces resistance and sticking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade to Kotai standard; 440C steel offers a combination of hardness and corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe package contains two powerful kitchen knives that impress both aesthetically and functionally.
