Yobocho Japanese knife 150mm Haiku Original

The Haiku range from Chroma embodies Japanese tradition in all its splendor. These knives are manufactured according to strict criteria, inherited from the immense experience of the Japanese in the field of cutting tools. The forge and the key assembly system have been tried and tested over the centuries, and continue to prove their worth in terms of satisfaction.

The Japanese Yobocho knife, as it is called, represents a traditional Japanese form equivalent to the more typical European universal knives, for the same functions. The main difference between the Yobocho knife and the utility knife lies in its blade, which is slightly longer and lower than the average utility knife. This blade height enables it to work efficiently on fish, when sashimi blades and carving knives are less practical for smaller pieces of food.

What's more, its longer blade length than a utility or paring knife offers greater technical scope for a wide variety of foods. The Yobocho is the perfect tool for cutting meat, fruit, vegetables and fish.
