The Minonokuni Gin-San 180mm Kamagata Usuba is a traditionally hand-forged knife designed to cut vegetables either in hand or on the board. More versatile than the traditional square ended usuba, this knife has a pronounced tip that can be used to create precisely controlled or decorative cuts. Gin-san steel is a very unique material; it can be hammer forged using the ancient techniques of samurai swordmakers, but is a stainless steel. This material requires less care and maintenance that any traditional carbon steel knives so it is a great choice for anyone who prefers a low maintenance blade. At 180 mm this blade is long enough to cut most any fruit or vegetable without being too heavy or cumbersome. This knife is truly a work of art. It would make a great addition to any knife collection and is a fantastic choice for the home collector or working chef. If you prefer a longer blade this knife is also available in a 210mm length.  Learn More
