Benefits

A wide straight-edged blade made for cutting soba noodles: The knife has the wide, rectangular soba-cutting shape with a straight edge. That shape lets the blade ride a guide board and cut folded dough into noodles of even width with each steady downward stroke.

A molybdenum steel blade chosen for a keen, durable edge: The listing names molybdenum steel as the blade material. It is a stainless-type steel used in kitchen knives for keeping an edge, and it gives the large blade a clean surface for repeated noodle cutting.

A listed weight of 750 grams for steady, even cutting: The listing gives the weight as 750 g, which is heavy for a knife. That heft lets the blade carry its own weight through the dough, so you guide it along the board rather than pushing it hard.

A 330 mm overall size with room for wide dough sheets: The overall length is 330 mm, as the listing states. The long blade spans a wide folded sheet of soba dough, so you can cut across the whole sheet in a single pass without moving your guide board.

An arched dark wood handle with three rivets: The photo shows a dark wood handle that arches up from the blade and is held by three rivets. The arch leaves room for your knuckles above the board and gives a firm grip for repeated strokes.

A knife carrying a name from the blade-making city of Sakai: The listing names Aoki Hamono as the maker and the product carries a name drawn from Sakai, the Osaka city known for blades. We ship it directly from Japan, packed carefully to protect the large blade.

How to Use

Who Is This For

The Soba-Cutting Cook: You want an even, confident cut through hand-rolled soba dough. A light, ill-shaped blade wanders and cuts noodles of uneven width, and that is not your fault. Our soba knife gives you a 330 mm molybdenum steel blade with a looped dark wood handle, at a listed weight of 750 g. The listing gives the overall size as 330 mm and the weight as 750 g, so you know the heft before you order. Choose it when you cut a sheet of soba dough into even noodles in steady strokes, and you will have the facts you need before you order.
