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 Kama-Gata 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. The handle is made of natural magnolia with the bolster made of water buffalo horn (bolster color varies). The Octagon-shape handle will fit comfortably in your hands.
Hongasumi knives are high-grade Kasumi knives. The materials are higher quality and more attention is given during the production process of forging,tempering and finishing.
Whetstone is recommended for sharpening.
