Left-handed highlights

Finished specifically for left-handed use, with a compact 130 mm blade that is easier for small hands to control. A rounded tip and protective cover make it a practical first kitchen knife for young left-handed cooks.

A note from HIDARI

A child’s first knife should feel manageable, not intimidating. We like this one because it’s small enough for young hands while still being a real kitchen knife—not a toy—so children can learn proper cutting skills with a tool made for their left hand.

Santoku kitchen knife for left-handers

Santoku knives are the most common cooking knives used in Japan, capable of cutting meat, fish, and vegetables (but not bones).

Although Santoku knives are generally double-beveled, many are subtly finished with right-handed use in mind. This model is finished specifically for the left hand, helping young left-handed cooks learn with a knife that feels natural from the start.

 

Slightly smaller size

This knife is originally made for children, but adults can also use it. (It may be difficult for people with very large hands.)

Due to its size, it cannot cut large chunks of fish or meat, but it is ideal for cutting small amounts of food or fruit.

 

Comes with a protective cover

Comes with a blade cover to use when storing or carrying for camping.
