A knife that finally cuts the way your left hand moves.
The MOKA Small Santoku — Japan's everyday knife, in a more manageable size
The santoku handles vegetables, meat, and fish with equal ease. This smaller version — at 150 mm blade length — is lighter and more maneuverable than the standard, making it well-suited to cooks who prefer a compact knife, or anyone working in a smaller kitchen.
Designed by Motomi Kawakami. Japan's Good Design Award 2008.
The MOKA series was designed by Motomi Kawakami, one of Japan's most celebrated industrial designers, whose work is recognized internationally for its balance of modernism and function. The series received Japan's Good Design Award in 2008 — one of the country's most respected design distinctions.
Made in Seki, Gifu — one of the world's great blade cities
Seki City in Gifu Prefecture is one of the world's three great centers of cutlery production, with a tradition of blade-making stretching back over 700 years. This knife is made by Suncraft, one of Seki's established kitchenware manufacturers.
Finished specifically for left-handed cooks
Most double-bevel knives are marketed as ambidextrous — but in practice, the finishing is subtly optimized for right-handed use. This is a rare special model, finished specifically for left-handed users. The result: a blade that moves through ingredients naturally, with the control and feel that left-handed cooks should always have had.
Built to last, easy to maintain
The blade is molybdenum vanadium steel — rust-resistant and known for holding its edge well. We recommend sharpening with a whetstone every one to two months depending on use. The all-stainless body is seamless from blade to handle, with no joints where residue can collect. The hollow handle keeps the knife light and well-balanced. Dishwasher safe.
