Suncraft MU BAMBOO Usuba Kitchen Knife 16.7 cm

The Suncraft MU BAMBOO Usuba kitchen knife 16.7 cm is a unique tool that is perfect for working with vegetables, offering precise and comfortable slicing. Its construction resembles a cleaver, but it is smaller and lighter, which provides better control over the cut. The single-sided blade with a straight or gently curved edge allows for precise slicing and chopping, and the high blade separates the chef’s hand from the cutting board surface, which increases comfort. Thanks to the wide blade, the knife is also useful for transferring sliced ingredients. In traditional Japanese cuisine, the Usuba is used for katsuramuki, which is the cutting of thin sheets from vegetables such as daikon radish, cucumber, or carrot. This knife is not intended for chopping bones, but it is ideal for precise dicing, slicing, and other chopping techniques for vegetables. The MU BAMBOO knife collection was designed by Italian designers Nunzia Paola Carallo and Jacopo Romano Grandis. These knives have earned the praise of professionals, including chef Pietro Leemann, owner of the Joia restaurant in Milan. The use of the highest quality molybdenum-vanadium steel hardened to 58 HRC guarantees their durability and sharpness. The knife handles made of Japanese bamboo reinforced with carbonization are a tribute to the nature of Japan.
