Sakai Ichimonji Mitsuhide Shirogami-forged Kasumi-finished Kamagata usuba-bocho 240mm kitchen knife Sakai Hamono Kitchen Knife Usuba Gift Wrapping Free Present Gift Wedding Congratulations.

Item Description

Steel

Shirogami (white steel) is the most commonly used traditional steel for professional Japanese knives. This steel is highly pure with impurities removed making it easy to sharpen and cost-effective compared to Aogami (blue steel). The Shirogami Kasumi series undergoes a meticulous forging and heat treatment process by skilled craftsmen resulting in excellent edge retention. Since it is a carbon steel it can achieve an extremely sharp edge but it may rust if left with moisture or salt.

Usage

This knife is widely used for various vegetable tasks such as peeling slicing chopping and cutting. The Kamagata usuba knife has been traditionally used in the Kansai region featuring a straight edge from the heel to the tip. Professionals often use knives around 210mm in length while home users prefer double-edged nakiri knives instead of single-edged usuba knives.
