Suncraft MU08

Suncraft MU BAMBOO Usuba kitchen knife 167 mm Usuba is a knife similar in shape to a cleaver, but it is smaller and lighter. Useful for working with vegetables. Characteristically, the one-sided sharpened cutting edge of this knife is straight or forms a gentle arc. The high blade of the knife effectively separates the cook's hand from the surface of the cutting board and guarantees comfort of work. The large surface of the blade is very helpful when transferring chopped products from the cutting board. In Japanese cuisine, Usuba is also used for katsuramuki, i.e. cutting thin sheets of vegetables such as daikon (Japanese radish), carrots, cucumbers. Attention! Usubais not used for choppingbones.
