Suncraft MU BAMBOO Santoku knife 167mm MU-03

Suncraft MU BAMBOO Santoku Knife 167mm MU-03

Santoku – a multi-functional Japanese-style knife, the Western equivalent of the popular chef's knife. Its name means "three virtues" or perhaps "three uses". There's a reason for this – the knife is perfect for slicing meat, fish, and vegetables. 

The MU Bamboo knife collection was created by the Italian design duo: Nunzia Paola Carallo and Jacopo Romano Grandis, who operate in the design world under the brand Carallo-Grandis. These knives are highly recommended by Pietro Leemann, chef and owner of the excellent Milanese restaurant Joia.

MU BAMBOO knives are made using the highest quality Japanese so-called molybdenum-vanadium stainless steel, hardened to 58 HRC. Their handles are made from Japanese bamboo, carbonized for strength. The use of this material for the handle is a tribute from the designers to Japanese nature – after all, bamboo is common in the Land of the Rising Sun.

The MU BAMBOO series was inspired by modern fusion cuisine, which is why Carallo-Grandis included both European-style and classic Japanese knives such as Santoku, Deba, Usuba, and Sashimi. The entire collection is a perfect combination of Italian design and Japanese quality.
