Minonokuni Ume 180mm Left-Handed Kama-Usuba

The Minonokuni Ume 180mm Left Handed Kamagata Usuba is a fantastic introductory piece for anyone looking to make their first foray into the world of traditional Japanese Hocho knives. The Kama-Usuba is the traditional, chisel ground variant of the Santoku blade shape. Designed for slicing, dicing, chopping and mincing vegetables, this knife has an extremely thin and sharp edge that can be used to make very clean, very precise cuts. At 180mm this blade is light enough to be maneuvered comfortably, but has enough blade length to make quick work of any job.
