Suncraft MU BAMBOO Sashimi knife 210mm MU-05

Suncraft MU BAMBOO Sashimi Knife 210mm MU-05

This knife features a thin, rather long, and extremely sharp blade. It is used for preparing sushi and sashimi, slicing thin pieces, and filleting certain types of fish. The single-sided sharpening allows for precise cutting of aesthetic slices that easily separate from the knife. A Sashimi knife requires the chef to use specific cutting techniques – it must be cut in only one direction, towards oneself. As a result, no zigzag marks are left on the surface of the cut product, and the cross-section of the slice is perfect, uncrushed, and untorn.

The MU Bamboo knife collection   was created by the Italian design duo:  Nunzia Paola Carallo  and  Jacopo Romano Grandis , operating 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 kind of tribute that the designers pay 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 knives typical of European cuisine and classic Japanese knives, such as Santoku, Deba, Usuba, and Sashimi. The entire collection is a perfect combination of Italian design and Japanese quality.
