A seamless knife that stays truly clean
We form blade and handle as one stainless piece, so there is no seam where food or water collects. Washing takes a quick rinse, and you can feel confident your knife is clean every time you cook.

Our all-stainless knife is dishwasher safe, so after dinner you load it with everything else. That saves hand washing and keeps your evening routine short, simple and easy to repeat every day.
A softly curved handle that is easy to hold
We shaped the stainless handle with soft curves for a gentle feel in the hand. The santoku weighs about 130 g, so everyday prep stays comfortable and you hold the knife with confidence.
High-carbon steel that sharpens well and lasts
The blade is high-carbon stainless knife steel chosen for a sharp edge and for sharpening well. A little regular care with a sharpener brings back the bite, so your knife keeps working meal after meal.
Five shapes for the way you cook
Pick the 165 mm santoku, perforated santoku, small santoku, gyuto or petty knife. Five styles in one line let you match the blade to your food, from vegetables and fruit to meat and fish.
More than a century of Seki knife-making
We began in 1908 in Seki City, one of the world's leading cutlery centers, and over 110 years of blade-making experience stand behind this knife. You hold a tool from a maker that has focused on blades for generations.

Who Is This For

The Easy-Care Cook: You cook most days and want a knife that is quick to clean and light in the hand. Seams where food hides and dull blades make washing and slicing harder than they should be, and that is the knife's fault, not yours. Our Pop Star knife forms blade and handle as one stainless piece, with a softly curved handle and a high-carbon stainless blade that resharpens well. Choose from five shapes, wash it in the dishwasher, and enjoy simple, dependable cooking every day.

Product Story

We began in 1908 in Seki City, Gifu Prefecture, making pocket knives in a town known for blades. Over more than 110 years we grew into a maker of kitchen knives, razors and beauty tools, with about 10,000 items today. Our Pop Star line shows how we think about everyday kitchen tools. We form blade and handle from one piece of stainless steel so no seam traps dirt, choose high-carbon stainless knife steel for a sharp edge, and make the whole knife dishwasher safe. You can choose from five shapes, from santoku to petty knife.

Quick Answer

Our Pop Star all-stainless kitchen knife forms blade and handle from one piece of stainless steel, with the 165 mm santoku weighing about 130 g. It is dishwasher safe, comes in five shapes, and carries the Seki blade-making craft we have practiced since 1908.

The Hygiene-First Cook

You believe a clean kitchen starts with clean tools. A knife with no seam between blade and handle gives dirt nowhere to hide, so every wash leaves it truly clean.

The Dishwasher Loader

You load the dishwasher after every meal. An all-stainless knife built for dishwasher use saves hand washing and keeps your evening routine short, simple and easy.

The Weekly Sharpener

You happily run a knife over a sharpener once a week. A high-carbon stainless blade that resharpens well returns a keen edge from simple, regular care.

The Light-Hand Prep Cook

You like a knife that feels light and easy to control. A softly curved stainless handle keeps prep comfortable, so you cut vegetables, meat and fish without fatigue.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is this knife made?

Our Pop Star knives are made in China to our own design and specifications, and we ship them directly from Japan. We are a knife maker from Seki City in Gifu Prefecture, where our blade-making began in 1908. The country of origin is listed in the specifications, so you know exactly what you are getting before you order it.

Which style should I choose?

Choose by what you cook most. The 165 mm santoku handles vegetables, meat and fish, the small santoku suits smaller hands and lighter jobs, the gyuto is for larger cuts of meat and fish, the petty knife is for peeling and trimming, and the perforated santoku has holes along the blade that help food release as you slice.

What is this knife made of?

The blade is high-carbon stainless knife steel and the handle is stainless steel, formed as one seamless piece with the blade. That structure leaves no gap where dirt or water can collect, which makes the knife easy to wash. The santoku weighs about 130 g and measures about 4.5 x 28.5 x 2.4 cm, with a 165 mm blade.

Can I put it in the dishwasher?

Yes, our Pop Star knives are made to be dishwasher safe, and the seamless one-piece structure leaves no gap for dirt to hide. You can also rinse and dry it by hand. Whichever way you wash it, dry the blade afterwards and store it in a drawer with a blade guard or in a knife block.

Can I sharpen this knife?

Yes. The blade is high-carbon stainless knife steel, which is made to respond well to resharpening. When the edge softens, use a sharpener or a whetstone to bring back its bite. A little regular sharpening keeps the knife cutting cleanly, and you can use it on vegetables, meat and fish without ever needing to replace it.

How is this knife shipped and when will it arrive?

We ship directly from Japan, and delivery takes 7-14 business days. Any item with a shelf life ships with a minimum of 6 months remaining. Tracking is provided so you can follow your parcel from our shipping point to your door. Your knife is packed carefully so the blade arrives safely and ready for your kitchen.
