甲鐵 KOUTETSU
KOUTETSU
在追求鋒利度與使用便利性的過程中,我們設計出一款形似日本裝甲艦「甲鐵」的刀型。
由於這些刀具的形狀像鐵板,我們對每一把刀進行精細的手工打磨。
我們製作了多種尺寸供選擇。
在我的廚房裡,我使用了一把牛刀(Gyuto)。這是一把美麗的刀,但它的弧度對我來說稍微過大,導致與食材的接觸面不足。所以我改用了一把直刃的菜刀(Nakiri),更適合切菜。但當我切肉時,我又希望回到使用牛刀的狀態。
嗯,我想:為什麼沒有人設計一種介於牛刀與菜刀之間的新型刀具?然後,我身為一名刀匠,決定自己來做這件事。於是,我實現了這個想法。
我給它設計了一個略微彎曲的刀刃。過於直的刀刃會增加摩擦,而過於彎曲的刀刃則會減少與食材的接觸。這微妙的曲線是我對「平衡點」的最佳詮釋。
我還給這款刀設計了一個銳利的刀尖,這在處理蔬菜、魷魚或雞肉時非常實用,尤其是做雕花或細緻切割時。
刀背經過高鏡面拋光處理,這提高了刀背與手指的摩擦力,讓控制更精準,使用更舒適,也更安全。
刀身兩側則採用粗糙的表面處理,以減少刀身與食材之間的摩擦力。這對於水分含量高的食材特別明顯。粗糙的刀身能破壞水的表面張力,讓刀刃更輕鬆地滑過食材。
日本的第一艘裝甲艦,名稱的意思即為「裝甲」。甲鐵的船首設計非常特殊,與我的刀型非常相似。
甲鐵是同類中的首創,採用了開創性的「尖端設計」,就像我的刀一樣。
甲鐵無懈可擊,就像我的刀。甲鐵是裝甲艦,而我的刀則是鋼甲結構。我採用了SG-2不鏽鋼粉末鋼作為內核,外層包覆不鏽鋼。這種雙鋼結構使刀更易於磨利,保持刀鋒的效果更好,且抗損性更強。
SG2粉末HSS鋼是高等級不鏽鋼,由金屬粉末壓製而成,內部組織均勻,擁有極佳的銳利度和耐用性。不易生鏽,使用更衛生安心。

Brand: KOUTETSU
In the pursuit of sharpness and ease of use, we designed a knife inspired by the form of Japan's armored warship "Koutetsu."
The shape of these knives resembles a steel plate, and each knife is meticulously handcrafted and polished. A variety of sizes are available to suit different needs.
A Personal Story from the Craftsman
In my kitchen, I once used a gyuto. While it was a beautiful knife, its curve was too pronounced for my needs, reducing its contact area with ingredients. I switched to a nakiri with a straight edge, which worked better for chopping vegetables. However, I found myself missing the gyuto when cutting meat.
This made me wonder: Why doesn’t anyone design a knife that bridges the gap between a gyuto and a nakiri? Being a knife maker, I decided to create one myself.
I designed a slightly curved blade edge—too straight creates friction, and too curved reduces contact. This subtle curve represents my ideal balance point.
I also added a sharp tip for intricate cuts, like carving vegetables or working with squid or chicken.
The spine of the knife is polished to a mirror finish, increasing friction with the fingers for better control, comfort, and safety.
The sides of the blade are given a rough finish to reduce friction when cutting high-moisture ingredients. This texture disrupts surface tension, allowing the blade to glide effortlessly through food.
Inspiration from KOUTETSU (Armored Warship)
Japan's first armored warship, Koutetsu, inspired the name. Its unique bow design resembles the shape of my knife.
Koutetsu was revolutionary, just like this knife. The ship was an armored warship; my knife features a steel-core structure.
The blade core is made from SG2 stainless steel powder steel, encased in stainless steel cladding. This dual-steel construction makes the knife easier to sharpen, retains sharpness longer, and enhances durability.
SG2 Powder HSS Steel is a high-grade stainless steel produced by compressing metal powders. Its uniform structure provides exceptional sharpness, durability, and long-lasting performance. It is rust-resistant, ensuring a hygienic and safe user experience.
Personal Hygiene Items:
