Benefits

A light knife that keeps everyday prep easy: At about 97 g, our Fresca santoku is a very light knife, so slicing vegetables, meat and fish takes little effort from your hand. You finish prepping with a hand that still feels fresh and a meal that comes together easily.

A handle shaped to sit comfortably in your grip: Our black ABS resin handle has a finger contour that fits your grip, and it is heat resistant to 80 C. You hold the knife with confidence, so every slice feels steady, controlled and comfortable from the first cut to the last.

Stainless steel that resists rust in daily use: We use a stainless knife-steel blade that resists rust, so the knife stays clean and bright through everyday cooking. With simple hand washing and drying, you keep a blade you are happy to see every time you open the drawer.

One shape that handles meat, vegetables and fish: The santoku shape is made for wide-ranging use, with a broad flat blade about 45 mm wide for slicing, chopping and dicing. One knife covers most of your prep, so your kitchen stays simple and your cooking stays easy.

An edge you can sharpen again and again: When the edge softens, you can resharpen our blade on a whetstone and bring back its bite instead of replacing the knife. You keep one trusted knife for years, and every meal feels as easy as the first.

Roots in saw-forging craft since 1866: We began in 1866 as a saw forge in Niigata, and more than 150 years of toolmaking experience stand behind our knife. You pick up a simple, practical tool made by a maker that has spent its history making tools.

Keep it in your drawer and reach for it every time you cook.

Product Story

We began in 1866 as a saw forge in Niigata, where our makers learned to shape steel into tools people rely on every day. Over more than 150 years we grew from forging saws into a maker and distributor of construction tools, DIY products, gardening supplies and household goods, handling over 100,000 items. We built the Fresca santoku from that same toolmaker's mindset: a plain, practical knife with a stainless blade, a light resin handle and an edge you can sharpen again. At about 97 g, it keeps everyday cooking easy, and it still carries the simple purpose behind our history, bringing smiles through good tools.
