Product Description

The usuba is a vegetable chopping knife. The blade is thin, which is required for chopping dense vegetables without breaking them. The blade is tall, keeping knuckles well above the cutting board.

This Edo-type usuba is great for cutting thin slices of vegetables. The blade is made of white carbon steel and the face of the blade has waves of mist showing the variance of the hard and soft steel.

Suminagashi (Damascus) knives are made by folding and forging soft iron onto Ao-Ko #1 (blue steel #1) repeatedly. Unlike traditional Kasumi knives, which are forged with one layer of soft iron onto high carbon steel. Many layers are created during the process of folding. The layers create a beautiful wave-like Damascus pattern from tip to heel. With every sharpening new waves will be unveiled.All of our Suminagashi knives are made with premium Ao-Ko #1. Which significantly increases durability and sharpness compared to Ao-Ko#2. Whetstone is recommended for sharpening.

*Not Stainless Steel
