Made in Japan.

Also called a pallet knife, Esa is fabricated in collaboration with a woodworker and steel manufacturer in Niigata Prefecture, northwest of Tokyo. Designed as a tool with mini offset characteristics and a fish spatula feel, you'll find rounded corners with a good amount of surface area and a slightly larger handle than normal for a comfortable grip. Perfect for fine pastry work like frosting a cake or smoothing batter in a tray, more heavy duty cooking like flipping a pancake or a piece of fish in a pan, or plating purees and small veg. Japanese oak and heat treated flex steel.  4.25" blade.  10" total length.

Gestura, founded by Gabe Rudolph,  is a San Francisco-based maker of chef's tools designed for the way people actually cook — precise, considered, and built to last. Each piece is handcrafted in Japan from materials chosen for performance and beauty in equal measure.

CARE

Hand-wash only.  To preserve the patina/grain of the wood, please treat with walnut oil or cutting board oil frequently. No resins were used to cure the wood, so drying the spatula metal side down is advised.
