HASHI - KOTAI’s new collection

Awaken your creativity in the kitchen with KOTAI’s new Hashi (橋, bridge) knife collection. Essential, accessible and designed for easy maintenance, this range embodies simplicity, ideal for passionate cooking enthusiasts.

Made in Seki, Japan’s cutlery capital, world-renowned for its high-quality blades and the expertise of its bladesmiths for 800 years, each knife is a symbol of minimalist culinary craftsmanship, offering a cutting experience that is as refined as it is functional.

Based on its motto, “A bridge to go beyond”, the Hashi collection is inspired by the different forms taken by water and applies this allegory of “water that adapts to its environment” to all its knives to highlight their versatility. It is therefore available in three distinct editions: Classic, Tsuchime and Damascus, with each knife carefully designed to offer you a unique experience tailored to your different culinary needs.

Hashi Tsuchime range

As its name suggests, the Hashi Tsuchime range offers Japanese knives made from stainless molybdenum steel, whose hammered blade (槌目 “tsuchime”) echoes the pebbles in waterways, particularly those of the Itadori River in Seki.

In addition to its aesthetic appeal, the hammering facilitates quick cutting thanks to small air pockets that prevent food from sticking to the blade.
