[HYPER REBORN] Kanematsu Usuba Knife, Sharpened, Black Oxide Finish, Water Buffalo Handle, Single Bevel, Yasuki Steel, 210mm

Kanematsu Usuba Knife

The Usuba is a traditional Japanese vegetable knife designed for delicate tasks such as katsuramuki and decorative cutting. This Usuba knife uses Yasuki steel.

The dark portion of the blade has been treated with a black oxide finish. This finish forms a stable oxidized layer on the iron surface, helping to suppress red rust while giving the blade a calm black appearance. The contrast between the rugged black blade surface and the polished silver edge creates a strong presence as a tool. With continued use, the appearance of the blackened area will gradually change, which is one of the unique charms of carbon steel knives. Since the black finish was not applied to a brand-new blade, the color may appear uneven in places, which can also be appreciated as part of its character.

This knife is single-edged and made of carbon steel, offering excellent sharpness.

Professionally sharpened and ready to use. Sharpening service is included in the price. Please handle with care when unpacking.
