At HRC 65, the KOTAI honing steel can fix even the hardest steel alloys in just a few strokes.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003eHoning vs. Sharpening:\u003cbr \/\u003eHoning realigns the blade edge in just a few strokes, while sharpening removes the dull edge to create a new, sharp one. Use the honing steel for weekly maintenance; use the whetstone to restore the blade's edge when sharpening becomes necessary.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003eTo help you hone your blade at the correct angle, the finger guard features a built-in 15˚ guide.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003eTechnical details:\u003cbr \/\u003eRod length \/ total length: 23 cm (9\") \/ 35 cm (14\")\u003cbr \/\u003eWeight: 331 g (11.7 oz)\u003cbr \/\u003eMagnetic: Yes\u003cbr \/\u003eGuided honing angle: 15 degrees\u003cbr \/\u003eRod material: #75 carbon steel\u003cbr \/\u003eRod hardness: HRC 65 +\/- 1\u003cbr \/\u003eTip of rod: Pointed for stability\u003cbr \/\u003eHandle material: Black hand-polished pakkawood\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003eKotai was born as a bridge between Asian and Western cook cutlery. Lightweight, precise and ultra-sharp like a Japanese knife, yet stainless, robust and very durable like a German knife. All the advantages without the disadvantages, no compromises. \"Kotai\" means \"solid\" in Japanese; durability and performance are the defining values behind Kotai's creations.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003eMany would argue that Japanese knives are the best in the world, so why do so few Western chefs use them? After moving to Asia from his hometown in France - and determined to continue his passion for cooking - Kotai founder Jeremie Plane set out on a journey, but found that the knife world was basically split in two:\u003cbr \/\u003eOn one side - Japanese knives - sharp and beautiful, but also very delicate and high-maintenance.\u003cbr \/\u003eOn the other - Western knives - durable and rust-resistant, but not nearly as sharp as their Asian counterparts.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003e\"I thought there had to be a better alternative. I became obsessed with the idea and started talking to countless bladesmiths, designers, steel engineers, professional chefs and regular home cooks. Some of them shared my frustration and joined the project.\"\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003eTwo years and a million prototypes later, KOTAI was born: light, precise and razor-sharp like a Japanese knife, yet stainless, durable and easy to maintain like a German knife. In short, a Japanese knife for the bosses of the West.","brand":"Kotai","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43718296174860,"sku":"KOT_0008_00_00","price":50.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0065\/0104\/0226\/products\/Kotai-Knife-Set-couteaux-Messer-honing-steel-knife-sharpener-Wetzstahl-Schleifstahl-onWhite-2130.jpg?v=1665159644","url":"https:\/\/chirlesindmirie.com\/en\/products\/wetzstahl-messerscharfer-30-cm-stablange-kotai","provider":"Charles \u0026 Marie's Design- \u0026 Geschenke-Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
