Usuba Knife 7" SanelliSan
The Usuba knife is an indispensable tool for culinary enthusiasts, expertly designed for cutting raw vegetables and fruits. Its thin, sharp blade minimizes cell damage, significantly reducing discoloration and preserving flavor by limiting oxidation. With a versatile middle section perfect for delicate slicing and the specialized Katsuramuki ("Rotary peeling") technique, the Usuba excels in handling larger ingredients like cabbages. However, it is not suitable for hard-skinned vegetables or fruits with stones, as they can damage the blade. The height of the blade also allows for precise guidance using the knuckles of your free hand, ensuring consistent thickness—an essential skill for achieving culinary perfection.
The SanelliSan knives combine Oriental style with advanced technology from Sanelli. Manufactured entirely in our Premana factory, these knives replicate the lines and characteristics of traditional Japanese handcrafted blades. The special sharpening technique enhances cutting precision, crucial for delicate Oriental preparations revered as an art form in Japan. The range includes popular traditional models, crafted from Delrin, DUPONT's highly durable thermoplastic polymer. The handle, made from satin-finished stainless steel, seamlessly integrates with the blade, imparting elegance to the knife.
