Features of the Castella knife

  1. Long and thin blade:

  2. Wavy blade (waved blade):
    • Most sponge cake knives have a corrugated blade (waved blade). This wavy blade allows the knife to cut smoothly without getting caught on the surface of the cake. Wave blades are also suitable for cutting soft dough of cakes without crushing it.
  3. Blade Thickness:
    • Castella knives are made with a very thin blade. This prevents the cake from being crushed when cut and keeps a clean cut surface. This thin blade is especially effective for soft and delicate foods such as sponge cakes.
  4. Lightweight design:
    • The Castella knife is designed to be lightweight and easy to handle. The lightness reduces the burden on the hand and makes it less tiring to use for long periods of time. It is also stable and easy to operate in situations where fine work is required.
  5. Lengths to suit your application:
    • Castella knives come in a variety of blade lengths, from long ones for cutting large sponge cakes and sponge cakes at once to short ones for cutting small cakes. You can choose the one that best suits your needs.
