The usuba is a traditional Japanese vegetable knife suited to delicate tasks such as katsuramuki and decorative cutting. Some darkening typical of hagane steel is present, but the edge remains beautifully silver, and the handle is exceptionally clean, almost like new, as if it was replaced recently.
This knife is single-beveled and made of hagane (carbon steel), offering excellent sharpness. Its clean edge and fresh-looking handle make it an appealing choice for users who want a traditional vegetable knife ready for precise work.
