What to know before you buy
About this knife
- Usuba knives of this 195mm length are the usual size for a main kitchen knife.
- It has a Japanese-style (wa) handle: a handle without a metal bolster, set into the blade with a hidden tang.
- Shirogami #2 (White #2) is a carbon steel that rusts and stains if it is left wet, so it is wiped dry after every use.
Limits to know
- It is single-bevel: sharpened on one side only, made for one hand, and harder to sharpen well than a double-bevel knife.
- Carbon steel develops a patina and can rust; it is not for a knife that sits wet in the sink.
Written from this knife's catalog record (steel, handle, length, grind). Knife Fit has not tested it; see how we work.
Good to know for beginners
A traditional Japanese knife made for one specific job. Shirogami #2 (White #2) is carbon steel: very sharp and easy to sharpen, but wipe it dry while you cook or it will rust.
