Kai Shun Pro Sho usuba 16,5 cm

The Kai Shun Pro Sho usuba is the Japanese knife specialised in vegetables. Its 16,5 cm rectangular blade and completely straight edge are made for fine, exact cuts.

With it you prepare almost transparent slices of cucumber or radish, julienned carrot, perfect brunoise or the classic katsuramuki, the technique of peeling in one long continuous sheet. The straight edge touches the board along its whole length, so each cut separates the piece completely.

Handmade in Seki, Japan, with a hardness of 60 (±1) HRC and sharpened on one side, which gives an especially sharp edge. It weighs 218 g and has a 12,5 cm Pakkawood handle.

For anyone who wants to take vegetable cutting to a professional level.
