The Kakugata knife is a Japanese kitchen tool characterized by a unique shape called "kakugata," which means "polygonal" in Japanese. These knives are known for their angular and sharp-edged blade, resembling the shape of an irregular polygon, with sharp edges rather than curves. The distinctive shape of this knife makes it particularly suitable for specific tasks in the kitchen, such as slicing thin vegetables or making precise cuts on meat and fish. The geometry of the blade allows for sharp and precise cuts, enabling the user to control the cut accurately. The Kakugata knife is an essential element in Japanese cuisine and is also appreciated by professional chefs and cooking enthusiasts worldwide for its ability to deliver accurate and consistent results.
