Exclusive to The Japanese Shop, the Yoshihiro Usuba Bocho Japanese Knife 160mm is a superb quality Japanese kitchen knife. It has been made from stain resistant Damascus steel with a super smooth mahogany wood handle. For knife aficionados the blade has a hardness Rockwell C scale of 57. Usuba, which means thin blade, has been sharpened on one side, a style known as kataba in Japanese which allows for the cutting of thinner slices but requires more skill to use. These Japanese kitchen knives have a beautiful wood grain effect on the blade called senbon kurokaki, which means one in a thousand black persimmon trees, regarded as the most valuable wood and were presented to Japanese emperors in ancient times. The Yoshihiro Usuba Bocho Japanese Knife 160mm is an ideal Japanese gift for an enthusiastic amateur or professional chef!
