A fitted sheath that keeps the blade covered
Our sheath slides over the blade and covers the edge whenever the knife is not in use. You can store it in a drawer, an under-sink rack or a basket without wrapping it, and the edge stays protected between uses and trips.
A clean, sharp stainless blade made in Japan
We shape a double-bevel stainless knife-steel blade that cuts neatly through vegetables, meat and fruit. The blade is engraved MADE IN JAPAN, so you know exactly where your knife comes from, and care is as simple as washing and drying it.
A light knife that is easy on your hand
Our santoku weighs about 118 g and measures about 290 mm overall, with a 165 mm blade, so it feels light and balanced in your hand. Long prep stays comfortable and you finish your cooking with a hand that is still fresh.
A handle that gives you a secure hold
We make the handle from nylon and resin, with rivets set along the santoku handle, and give it a gentle curve at the end. The shape fills your hand and keeps the knife steady while you slice, dice and peel.
Two sizes for the way you cook
Choose the 165 mm santoku for vegetables, meat and fish, or the 125 mm petty knife for peeling, trimming and small jobs. Each option comes with its own sheath, so you can add a second knife to your kitchen later.
Backed by more than a century of blacksmithing
We began as blacksmiths in Sanjo, Niigata, in 1874 and founded our company in 1957. More than a century of metalworking in Tsubame-Sanjo, a region famous for cutlery, stands behind this knife.

Product Story

We began blacksmithing in Sanjo, Niigata Prefecture, in 1874, and in 1957 we founded our company, shaping steel in a region famous for metalwork. Over generations we moved from farm tools to kitchen knives, and today we make a wide range of knives and kitchenware. Our Takarabune Sakura Yui knife brings that heritage to everyday kitchens. We chose a clean double-bevel stainless blade, a secure handle and a fitted sheath, and we make it in Tsubame-Sanjo, Japan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is this knife made?

Our Sakura Yui knives are made in Japan, and the blade is engraved MADE IN JAPAN. Our blacksmithing in Sanjo, Niigata, began in 1874 and our company was founded in 1957, in a region famous for metalwork and cutlery. We ship the knife directly from Japan, and the origin is also listed in the specifications, so you know exactly where it comes from.

Which option should I choose?

Choose by the way you cook. The 165 mm santoku handles vegetables, meat and fish, and is the better choice if you want one knife for most jobs. The 125 mm petty knife is made for smaller jobs such as peeling and trimming fruit. Each option comes with its own sheath, so you can start with one and add the other.

What is the knife made of?

The blade is stainless knife steel with a double bevel, so it is sharpened on both sides. The handle is nylon and resin, and the sheath is polypropylene. The santoku measures about 290 x 49 x 17 mm with a 165 mm blade and weighs about 118 g, so it feels light and well balanced in your hand.

How does the sheath work?

The polypropylene sheath slides over the blade and covers the edge, so you can store the knife in a drawer, under the sink or in a basket for the barbecue without wrapping it. It has slanted cut-outs and a hole at the end, so you can also hang it. Remove it by holding the handle and pulling gently.

Does the handle fit a knife stand?

The handle is a little heavier than the blade, so in an upright knife stand the knife can sit at a slight tilt. It works well in a drawer, in a knife block that accepts angled knives or in its own sheath, which is how we suggest storing it. The sheath is included with every knife we ship.

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.
