Nakagawa Ginsan Usuba 180/210mm Mirror Polished with K&S Ebony Handle, single-bevel vegetable knife
This usuba is a single-bevel vegetable knife for precise, paper-thin cuts. The blade is a practical everyday length. Forged by Nakagawa with a mirror-polished finish finish, it pairs hard, keen Japanese steel with the thin grind and balance that let the blade glide through food with less resistance. 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.

Feels fantastic in the hand and the mirror-polished finish looks even better in person.

The Ginsan takes a wicked edge. Fit and finish are excellent for the price.

Beautiful mirror-polished finish finish and the edge is incredible. Exactly what I hoped for.

Best usuba I have owned. Effortless push cuts and the food just falls off the blade.
