Minonokuni Ume 210mm Kama-Usuba

Minonokuni Ume 210mm Kama-Usuba

The Kamagata Usuba is a traditional single-bevel, hand-forged, carbon steel vegetable knife. It is lighter than an usuba due to rounding the spine, the kama-usuba shape is more popular in Japan than the traditional usuba. These are extremely thin, sharp blades and not suitable for hard vegetables. They excel at precision work like cutting cucumber and daikon sheets for sushi.
