Knife Information

Who doesn't want a whale knife? Hand-forged carbon steel with soft iron clad. A perfect utility/chopper with great edge retention. 

STEEL BREAKDOWN – Blue Steel is a traditional high-carbon steel made by Hitachi Metals in Japan. It is the favourite steel of many knife makers and chefs across the world for its fantastic edge holding ability, toughness, and ease of sharpening. It contains few stainless elements, and as such will develop a patina, and develop rust spots if left wet after use. It requires a little more care and maintenance than something like VG-10 (Stainless Steel), so consider this when purchasing a Blue Steel knife as your first Japanese knife.

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.

The Stando project is a result of my interest in updating the ubiquitous kitchen tongs — which often tears or breaks food and feels like cooking with two clumsy thumbs. We calibrated Stando to feel like a delicate extension of one’s fingers.

We ditched the bland and clinical look of tongs, and replaced it with a soft streamlined shape. 

The namesake feature, a curved stand in the middle of the tool provides a wide surface area for finger placement and grip. The stand also keeps the tips elevated off the ground while not in use.

The curve has been strategically placed to lean on vessels like 1/9 pans, pint containers, bowls, pan handles - anything with a lip or corner, really. 

If you think of tweezers as solely reserved for micro greens and delicate plating, I encourage you to give Stando a try as an every day tool.

Each piece is stamped, etched, and finished by hand at Mr. Ando’s workshop. 

Form-
Stando combines the long tapered profile of Japanese cooking chopsticks with the tension and precision of plating tweezers. It is comfortable everywhere from turning small veg in a small pan, to handling noodles and grilling.

Origin-
Niigata, Japan

Material-
18/8 Japanese stainless steel

Length-
10 inches

Cleaning-
Hand-wash only, please.

Packaging-
Packaging is constructed with recycled chipboard

If you asked: "Give me a stone that isn't too soft, isn't too hard, has great feedback, is splash and go, and has its own base but won't cost me an arm and a leg,", we're reaching for the Shapton Kuromaku every time. 

Somewhat reminiscent of the Chosera (albeit with a slightly thinner stone), the Kuromaku are a splash and go dream. Softer than the Glass HR, harder than Suehiro Cerax, they represent excellent value. 

Grit: #1000 (Use in the early stages of sharpening)

Your new plancha pal. Esa is fabricated in collaboration with a woodworker and steel manufacturer in Niigata Prefecture, northwest of Tokyo. We wanted to design a tool with mini offset characteristics and a fish spatula feel. You'll find rounded corners with a good amount of surface area and a slightly larger handle than normal for a comfier grip. Perfect for fine pastry work like frosting a cake or smoothing batter in a tray, more heavy duty cooking like flipping a pancake or a piece of fish in a pan, or plating purees and small veg. Hand-wash only. If you'd like to preserve the patina/grain of the wood, please treat with walnut oil or cutting board oil

Form-
Inspired by Japanese knives, the octagonal oak handle is lightweight yet offers a full secure grip. The corners are rounded with a good amount of surface area and a slightly larger handle than normal for a comfier grip.

Origin-
Niigata, Japan

Material-
Beautiful Japanese oak and a heat treated flex steel that can bend and snap back in place. It was important to us that no resins, glues, or plastics were used to fix the blade to the handle, so all you will find is two rivets and a piece of wood lightly treated with some walnut oil

Length-
4.25" blade, 10" total

Cleaning-
Hand-wash only. If you'd like to preserve the patina/grain of the wood, please treat with walnut oil or cutting board oil frequently.

Packaging-
Packaging is constructed with recycled chipboard
