Naokichi Usuba Knife, Sharpened, Water Buffalo Handle, Betsuuchi, Yasuki Steel, Single Bevel, Vegetable Knife, 180mm

Naokichi Usuba Knife

The Usuba is a traditional Japanese vegetable knife designed for delicate tasks such as katsuramuki and decorative cutting. This is a fine Yasuki steel Usuba knife, though it shows patina typical of carbon steel. The sharpened edge, however, has a clean silver finish. This has been reflected in the price, making it an excellent value for those who do not mind the cosmetic patina.

This single-beveled carbon steel knife offers a sharp cutting edge.

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