【New, Unused】Sakai Hamono Genkikotora Usuba Knife 165mm Total Length 300mm Special Steel

Sakai Hamono Genkikutora Usuba Knife (Vegetable Knife).

This is a single-beveled Japanese knife designed for slicing vegetables thinly and beautifully, making it ideal for tasks like peeling daikon radishes thinly, julienning, and decorative cutting.
The blade is extremely thin and smoothly cuts into ingredients, making it a representative knife used by professional Japanese chefs. However, due to its thinness, it requires skill and careful maintenance.
There are two types: Kanto-style (Edo Usuba) and Kansai-style (Kama Usuba), which differ in shape.

Features
Use: Thin slicing, peeling, decorative cutting, peeling skin, etc., for all types of vegetables.

Blade: Extremely thin with a sharp cutting edge.

Shape: Single-beveled (one side is sharpened) with a hollow called uraoshi that prevents ingredients from sticking.

Types:
Kansai-style (Kama Usuba): The blade tip is rounded like a sickle.

For Home Use
Requires skill and is prone to chipping.
Recommended for advanced cooks or those aiming to improve their cooking skills.
