Designed with the busy line cook in mind, Kohetsu knives are made to be durable, easy to care for, and affordable. They are made of Hitachi Blue #2 steel clad with stainless steel, so only the mirror-finish edge will form a patina. The nashiji finish helps food slide right off the knife, simplifying a busy prep session. We also upgraded the handles on these recently to walnut octagonal with black pakka wood.

Kohetsu loosely translates to "be happy" in Japanese and we hope these knives will make you happy for years to come. Made in Japan exclusively for Chefknivestogo.

      Best intro to Nakiri, June 18, 2022
    Posted By: Colton R.

    Bought this knife to use on the line to learn my push cuts and it has been a fantastic experience so far! Easy to clean and sharpen as I work through my veggies. The nashiji and hammered finish is a rustic look that I personally prefer to kuroichi with no effect to food becoming lodged or stuck. With this value it will be hard for me to not stick with Kohetsu for my next knife as well as the awesome delivery times. Thank you!

      Great knife for the price
    Posted By: Joseph Martinez

    Fit and finish is superb right out of the box. Blade cuts through most veggies with ease and is fairly non stick due to the finish. Handle is comfortable and well done. Blade is on the heavier side for most nakiris but I prefer a heavier knife so I very much enjoy it. Overall great deal for the price.

    Super sharp out of the box. Great chopping tool, cruises through veggies. A steal at the price. Looks cool too.

      Beautiful, but...

    This knife is beautiful out of the box. The wood ferrule is a huge upgrade compared to plastic. The blade weight and profile make for efficient cutting and food processing. The stainless cladding is supposed to make this knife easier to maintain, but the grainy texture is subject to staining from colored veggies (sweet potatoes and carrots, for example. I won't even consider cutting a beet with this knife). Also, the hard edged hammer marks are a esthetically beautiful, but they trap bits of food and juices. I absolutely will not cut any raw meat or fish with this knife. It would be negligent to do so. Trying to keep it clean has resulted in a polished finish replacing the beautiful textured patina in places, so simply using the knife as a tool has quickly resulted in a degradation of its artistic merit. I'm giving it 4 stars because it's such a great cutter, but it's a real stretch up from a 2 or 3 star review depending on if the knife staying beautiful is important to you or if you want to be able to cut everything without food safety concerns. There is no chance you could use this professionally.

      Excellent valued knife
    Posted By: Chris - verified customer

    I stropped this on a 6k stone when I got it and it cuts like a dream! The nashiji finish does a great job of releasing all but the wettest veggies (cucumbers). I'd highly recommend this knife to anyone looking for a nakiri in this price range!
