Shirogami Satin Damascus Kamagata Usuba Knife
The Shirogami Satin Damascus Kamagata Usuba knife is a traditional Japanese Usuba knife, the essential tool for vegetable preparation with a single-sided edge. It resembles a narrow cleaver but should not be used for chopping bones or frozen items. The literal translation of "Usuba" is "thin blade." Its straight cutting edge allows for various cutting techniques, including julienne. The Usuba knife makes chopping, shredding, and portioning vegetables effortless, regardless of their size and shape. Thanks to its distinctive high blade, it fits perfectly in your hand, rests against the cutting board, ensuring comfortable slicing. It has a semi-circular blade tip, very similar in shape to a santoku knife, making it much easier to roll vegetables for decorative purposes and slice them into thin pieces.
The knife features a handle made of rosewood with a synthetic bolster.
