For cutting and spreading.
A table knife for use from morning to night.

From breakfast, spreading butter or pâté on bread,
to dinner, cutting up a single plate or main dish.
This wooden-handled knife, approximately 17.5cm in total length,
combines the casualness of a butter knife with the reliability of a table knife.

For cutting and spreading. This one knife, from morning to night.

In the morning, spread butter or jam on toast.
At lunch, cut pancakes or ingredients on a single plate.
In the evening, cut main dishes into easy-to-eat pieces.

Without meticulously switching between a butter knife and a table knife, it can be used for both spreading and cutting.

Because it's not limited to a single role, it's a knife you can casually pick up for any meal throughout the day.

Approximately 17.5cm in total length, easy to handle at the table.

More compact than a typical dinner knife,
it's a size that's easy to maneuver on the table.

Its rounded, gentle curve prevents it from appearing too rigid
when placed next to dishes or food.

It's functional and blends naturally into the dining setting.
A knife for everyday use.

Because it's used daily, we paid attention to its feel.

The metal part is crafted by Sato Kinzoku Kogyo (SALUS) in Tsubame-Sanjo, Niigata Prefecture, a renowned manufacturing region.

We combined the stainless steel knife with a wooden handle characteristic of Somaé.

The cleanliness of metal and the warm touch of wood.
Its tool-like appearance is accented by brass screws.

Beyond ease of use, we value the little joy it brings with each touch. The current model is approximately 175mm in length, weighs about 40g, and uses stainless steel, laminated reinforced wood, and brass screws.

Somaé tools, unified by wooden handles.

The handle uses the same wooden pattern as Somaé's small knife "corebacca" and the spoons and forks in the same series.

From cooking tools to eating tools.

By coordinating with the same wooden handle, the appearance of the tools naturally connects from the kitchen to the dining table.

From In-Flight to Everyday Dining.

The origin of this knife lies in in-flight meal cutlery, designed to be easy to handle in limited spaces.

It's not for special occasions, but for making everyday meals more enjoyable.
