This usuba is a single-bevel vegetable knife for precise, paper-thin cuts. The blade is a practical everyday length.

The stainless steel keeps it easy to look after from day to day.

Care and everyday use
It is at its best for precision vegetable and garnish work. The stainless steel keeps maintenance low: hand wash and dry the blade after use, keep it off bone and frozen food, and touch up the edge on a whetstone when it starts to slow. There is no need to oil the blade, which makes it a forgiving choice for everyday cooking.
