Meet the Hachi no Hane Turner S from HOKUTO59, a wooden spatula built to make daily cooking a little more enjoyable. Its name means "bee's wing," giving it a playful identity, but the shape itself starts from something very practical: a typical turner, with its flat head sitting in line with the handle for stress-free flipping and tossing, refined into a sleeker, sharper silhouette.
This is the standard S size, measuring about 295mm in length. It's carved from mountain cherry wood and finished with Osmo oil. Each piece is treated so it won't turn fuzzy after washing, keeping it dependable for years of everyday use. Because every turner comes from its own block of wood, the grain is unique and can't be chosen in advance.
In Japanese kitchens, tools that grow more personal with use are especially valued, and HOKUTO59 designs with that same idea in mind: a well-loved tool can turn routine meal prep into something you look forward to. You can let the tip wear down naturally against your pots and pans over time, or shape it yourself with 120 grit sandpaper to match your own cooking angle (sand only the tip; the rest of the surface is already finished with a finer polish). Either way, it's a turner meant to be worked in and sha
HOKUTO59 Hachi no Hane wooden turner, Size S (standard type). Approx. 295 mm long, finished with Osmo Oil.
Made from mountain cherry wood, the darker-colored wood. The sharp, distinctive shape is designed as a practical everyday turner, with a flat tip aligned with the handle for smoothly moving food.
The surface is finished to resist raising grain after washing. The tip may be lightly shaped to suit your cookware or preferred use; approximately 120-grit sandpaper is recommended for shaping the tip only. Wood grain cannot be selected.
