So small, yet I always come back to this. The origin of corebacca.

The perfect size for everyday life.

The origin of corebacca was FEDECA's children's knife.

A knife that not only children but also adults would want to use.
Based on the concept of "a lifetime companion for children," this knife was born after careful consideration of size and shape to ensure that even children using a knife for the first time could use it safely.

However, through actual use, we realized something.

This size is, after all, perfect for adults too.

In today's kitchens, there aren't as many situations as in the past where you cut large vegetables or chunks of meat from scratch.

Pre-cut vegetables and meats are now commonplace, and there are more and more situations where you quickly cut small amounts for breakfast, lunchboxes, or dinner preparations.

What is needed for such a modern lifestyle is not a large knife, but rather a nimble and safe one.

From there, the development of corebacca began.

 

A children's knife, adapted for adults

Its origin is a children's knife.

However, corebacca is not just a small knife.
We redesigned its shape so that adults can genuinely use it for daily cooking.

The tip is slightly sharpened to facilitate detailed work.

Peeling vegetables, making incisions, or doing delicate tasks.
Because it's a small knife, it's designed to make intricate work easier.

Furthermore, we added a heel to the base of the blade to make it easier to remove potato sprouts.

Though small, it's perfectly usable for cooking.
It's not just cute; it's a reliable, practical tool.

Starting from a children's knife,
we developed it into a knife that adults can use daily in their kitchens.

 

A knife that suits modern living

When you think of a knife, many people probably imagine a large one like a santoku knife.

Of course, there are situations where a large knife is necessary.
But when you look back at daily cooking, you'll find that there are surprisingly many small tasks.

Cutting fruit for breakfast.
Cutting a small amount of vegetables for a bento box.
Making pre-cut meat a little smaller.
Chopping herbs.
Removing potato sprouts.

In such moments, bringing out a large knife feels a bit excessive.
However, you don't want to compromise on sharpness or ease of use.

corebacca is a knife designed to assist with those small, everyday cooking tasks.

 

Small, yet reliable

Small knives are often considered secondary tools.

But what corebacca aimed for was not "this will do for now," but rather "I want to use this again today."

It's nimble.
Easy to pick up.
Easy to wash.
And it cuts well.

Because it's a tool used daily in the kitchen,
we prioritized this balance of ease and reliability.

After using it for a while, you find yourself always choosing this one.

That's why its name is corebacca.

It's small, yet it's the one you always reach for.

We put this feeling into its name, hoping it would become such a presence.

 

A knife that you naturally reach for in your daily life

corebacca is not just for special dishes.

Rather, it's a knife that truly shines in the everyday, casual cooking moments.

During busy mornings.
Making lunchboxes.
A little bit of prep before dinner.
When you want to make one more dish.

Before reaching for a large knife, you naturally reach for this one.
After using it, you quickly wash it and put it back.

We want it to be a tool that naturally fits into your kitchen and daily life in such a way.

Born from a children's knife,
a small knife that adults can genuinely use.

When we considered the perfect size for daily life,
this is the shape it took.

It's small, yet it's the one you always reach for.

corebacca is the perfect knife for today's kitchen.
