Masamoto KS Usuba Vegetable Knife

Handcrafted from Yasuki White Steel #2 and finished with HONBAZUKE sharpening by Masamoto's skilled artisans, this usuba is razor-sharp out of the box and ready to slice vegetables and fruits with exceptional precision. The single-bevel thin blade minimizes discoloration and flavor changes caused by oxidation, and it's ideal for performing the Katsuramuki technique favored by Japanese chefs. Handmade through every stage—forging, sharpening, polishing, and finishing—this knife embodies the highest level of Japanese carbon steel craftsmanship. The traditional D-shaped magnolia handle with water buffalo horn ferrule offers a lightweight, secure grip favored by professional chefs.
