Sakai Takayuki Tokujou Usuba 210mm White 2 Carbon Steel, 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 Sakai Takayuki Tokujou, it pairs hard, keen Japanese steel with the thin grind and balance that let the blade glide through food with less resistance. The forged carbon steel takes a keen edge and gains character with use.

Care and everyday use
It is at its best for precision vegetable and garnish work. This is a carbon-steel blade, which takes an exceptionally keen edge but reacts with food and water. Hand wash and dry it immediately after use, wipe on a light coat of oil before storage, and expect a natural patina to form over time. Keep it off bone and frozen food, and sharpen on a whetstone to bring the edge back.

Solid buy. Sharp, light and nimble. Would happily buy from Knives and Stones again.

Lovely knife and a joy to use. A little more blade care than my stainless knives but worth it.

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