A thin blade that cuts with little resistance
Our molybdenum steel blade is thin and hand-sharpened, so it passes through dense root vegetables without wedging. A review notes the very thin blade, and the light weight keeps your wrist fresh through a long evening of preparation.
A familiar and well-loved round-tip shape
We keep the rounded tip and the clover-shaped hole near the tip that owners have known for decades. One review says a round-tip knife is hard to find, and another says the tip makes the knife feel shorter than it is.
A long track record in many kitchens
Reviews describe the same model still in service after thirty, forty and even fifty years, still sharp and rust-free with care. We keep the design steady because it works, and our company has made knives since 1965.
A solid handle with three rivets
We fit a laminated engineered-wood handle with three rivets, so the grip feels firm and the knife stays steady in your hand. The handle suits both small hands and large hands, and it keeps its shape through everyday use.
Two sizes for the way you cook
Choose the compact 140 mm AB-50, about 260 mm overall and 90 g, or the larger 170 mm AB-60, about 290 mm overall. A review notes that the round tip makes the knife feel shorter, so choose the larger one if you cut big vegetables.
A maker with decades of Sakai and Seki craft
Our company was founded in Sakai, Osaka, in 1965, and we make our knives in Seki, Gifu, sharpening each thin edge by hand. We have trained our own craftspeople for decades to keep that skill alive for you.

The Buy-It-Once Home Cook: You want a knife that you buy once and keep for decades. Knives that rust, wobble or wear out in a few years make you replace the same tool again and again, and that is the knife's fault, not yours. Our round-tip utility knife gives you a thin molybdenum steel blade, a familiar rounded tip with a clover-shaped hole and a solid laminated-wood handle with three rivets. Choose the compact 140 mm AB-50 or the larger 170 mm AB-60, and dry it after washing so it stays sharp for years.

Product Story

We were founded in May 1965 in Sakai, Osaka, with a simple goal: knives that chefs and home cooks love for decades. We make our knives in Seki, Gifu Prefecture, and our craftspeople sharpen each thin edge by hand. We have trained our own craftspeople for years to protect that skill. Our round-tip utility knife keeps a shape that has hardly changed in decades, with a molybdenum steel blade and a solid handle made in Japan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is this knife made?

Our round-tip utility knives are made in Japan, in Seki, Gifu Prefecture, and our company was founded in Sakai, Osaka, in 1965. We ship every knife directly from Japan, and the origin is also listed in the specifications, so you know exactly where it comes from before you order. Our craftspeople sharpen each thin edge by hand.

What is the blade made of?

The blade is molybdenum steel, engraved Multi Molybdenum Steel, and one review notes it is a chrome-moly alloy, a type of steel used in high-grade products. The handle is laminated engineered wood fixed with three rivets. The 140 mm AB-50 is 260 mm overall and about 90 g, and the 170 mm AB-60 is 290 mm overall.

Does the blade rust?

Molybdenum steel is not stainless, so it needs care. Several reviews say the knife stays sharp and rust-free for decades, while others report rust or pitting when it was left wet. Wash it by hand soon after use and wipe it completely dry, and it will give you many years of reliable, sharp service in your kitchen.

Which size should I choose?

Choose the 140 mm AB-50 for fruit, small vegetables and light tasks, and the 170 mm AB-60 for larger vegetables and general cooking. One review says the rounded tip makes the knife feel shorter and smaller than other knives of the same length, so choose the larger size if you are unsure which suits you.

Why does the knife have a round tip?

The rounded tip, with a clover-shaped hole near the tip, is a familiar shape that many owners have used for decades, and one review says a round-tip knife is hard to find. It takes a little getting used to if you prefer a pointed tip, but it still does the everyday job of peeling, slicing and chopping well.

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.
