The Usuba is a traditional Japanese vegetable knife designed for intricate work such as katsuramuki and fine chopping. The Kanto-style version features a squared-off blade for clean, straight cuts and is popular among professionals.
This knife is single-beveled and made from high-carbon steel, offering excellent sharpness. It shows minimal signs of use, although the water buffalo horn handle has slight wear from storage—cosmetic only and doesn't affect usability.
It comes sharpened and ready to use. Please handle with care. The sharpening fee is included in the price.
It features the engraving "源宏明" (Minamoto Hiroaki).
A beautifully crafted Usuba perfect for precision vegetable work. Excellent for pros who appreciate a squared blade and high-end steel.
