Santoku Child’s Knife from from Tojiro, blue handle

This is an excellent knife for kids; It’s tall enough to get the hang of the “claw” grip, so they don’t nick their fingers; it’s rounded where it matters so no one gets poked, but most importantly, it’s sharp enough (and therefore safe enough) to be a real knife, and it’s a great learning opportunity to stoke that passion for cooking.

The blade is adorned with a chicken, fish, a happy tomato, and a smiley face that inexplicably has only one eyebrow. And it comes in three radical colours (yellow, blue, pink). The blade of molybdenum vanadium, is a softer steel that’s super rugged but still holds an edge for a solid six months of daily use, probably longer.

Features:

• Steel: Molybdenum vanadium
• Handle: Western style in plastic

● Machine forged in Japan
