YOU MUST BE 18 OR OVER TO ORDER THIS PRODUCT. PROOF OF ID WILL BE REQUIRED ON DELIVERY.

The name 'UKON' has many positive connotations in Japanese legend. Our favourite use of the word lies in the expression 'Tachibana No Ukon' referring to the Mandarin Tree that was symbolically planted on the right-hand side of the Imperial Palace in Kyoto. It was said to balance the Cherry Blossom Tree on the left-hand side, known as the 'Sakura No Sakon'. Together they replaced the Samurai Guards who had until then protected the Emperor, but who were deemed no longer necessary during times of peace. The Ukon GUF-32 Utility Knife is a fully forged, robust knife that can tackle any kitchen task, whether its filleting fish, carving meat or slicing vegetables. Its thin, agile blade and compact size make it wonderfully nimble and easy to manoeuvre.

Features:

  • 10% sharper than previous collections

  • Cromova18 Stainless Steel

  • Thicker blade for added strength

  • Acute 15 Degree Cutting Edge

  • Ambidextrous thumb rest for extra comfort

  • Handwash Only

  • Designed by Komin Yamada

  • Made in Japan
