Esa is fabricated in collaboration with a woodworker and steel manufacturer in Niigata Prefecture, northwest of Tokyo. We wanted to design 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 comfier 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.
Beautiful Japanese oak and a heat treated flex steel that can bend and snap back in place. It was important to us that no resins, glues, or plastics were used to fix the blade to the handle, so all you will find is two rivets and a piece of wood lightly treated with some walnut oil.
Made in Niijata, Japan
4.25" blade, 10" total
Hand-wash only. If you'd like to preserve the patina/grain of the wood, please treat with walnut oil or cutting board oil frequently. We've committed to not using any resins to cure the wood, so drying the spatula metal side down is advised.
