01 Gold is forged with a double tablespoon volume (one ounce) to handle bolder pours and more generous measures with grace. The bowl is wide and full, offering a steady cradle for sauces or stocks, while the edge curves into a fine tip for controlled drizzling or glazing. The handle is slightly weightier, offering balance when stirring a stew or lifting from a deep pot, yet refined enough to finish a dish with finesse. The rim is smooth and gently rounded, designed to sweep through mixtures and sauces with ease and precision.

Form-
Inspired by the worn and tarnished steel often found at flea markets, and modeled after old American and European silhouettes the spoon is tumbled and unpolished. This creates a matte and imperfect material finish. Each piece is stamped and etched, then finished by hand on a lathe in Mr. Okada’s workshop.

Origin-
Niigata, Japan

Material-
18/10 Japanese stainless steel

Length-
9 inches

Accessories Information

The Rockstar Series from Shapton improve on the GlassHR Series by removing the glass backing, and adding extra stone thickness for a longer lifespan. They are a hard stone that offers lighter feedback levels than other stones, but cut very fast, require no soaking, and are very slow to dish.

Knife Information

1894- Mr. Tasaburo Shigematsu, a hardware wholesaler, introduced a new pocket knife with its blade and sheath folded by installing a small handle “Chikiri (tail)” on the blade, while inspired by the knife he brought back from Kagoshima.

He named it “Higonokami Knife” because many of his customers were in Kumamoto area (formally Higo country), which turned out to dramatically increase his sales. The blades have gradually changed their shapes. Unlike single-edged knives, the double-edged blades (V-shaped cross section) were in those days considered common. The earlier blades had a sharper tip (shape of a bamboo leaf), but now they have square shapes. The sheaths had a vertically folding style and a cross folding style, now the vertical one has to be custom made.

In 1911, at the First Kobe Export Articles Competitive Exhibition, Crown Prince (later Emperor Taisho) liked Higonokami on display very much and bought one, which is said to have helped its fame further spread.

The Higonikami is a fantastic traditional utility knife at a low cost.
