"Your new plancha pal. 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. Hand-wash only. If you'd like to preserve the patina/grain of the wood, please treat with walnut oil or cutting board oil
" Inspired by Japanese knives, the octagonal oak handle is lightweight yet offers a full secure grip. The corners are rounded with a good amount of surface area and a slightly larger handle than normal for a comfier grip.
"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."

I have built a very strong relationship with ProTooling. Paul (the owner) has a very good attitude and that reflects in the products he stands behind. He provides only the best quality through all of the good relationships he has been able to grow throughout the years with the top craftsmen in Japan. He and his staff are amazing. Keep up the good work.
