Minonokuni Ume 180mm Left-Handed Usuba

The Minonokuni Ume Series 180mm Left-Handed Usuba, is a fantastic starter knife for anyone looking for their first tradtional Japanese knife. Made from yellow paper carbon steel, this blade is tough, durable and easy to sharpen. This shape is primarily used for vegetable prep where it is used for tap, draw and push cutting. The long, flat blade makes excellent contact with the board on each cut unlike western shaped blades that have a camber better suited for rocking cuts. 


Please note this is a left-handed knife. We also carry the right handed model here. If you're familiar with traditional, chisel ground hochos and are looking for a harder steel with a longer lasting edge, we recommend the Take series, white steel usuba.
