KICHIJI SHIROGAMI-2 KUROUCHI KO-BOCHO / SMALL MULTI PURPOSE KNIFE 105MM ROSEWOOD HANDLE MADE BY MURATA
A Ko-Bocho (meaning "small kitchen knife") is a compact, versatile Japanese utility knife with a blade typically under 120mm, designed for intricate tasks like peeling, trimming, and prepping small vegetables, fruit, or herbs. It acts as a Japanese paring or small utility knife, often featuring high-carbon steel, a comfortable, lightweight design, and high precision for both board and hand-held work.
Particular care must be taken to wipe and dry this series and a light coating of oil will help to protect the reactive cladding from oxidising.
