What to know before you buy

About this knife

  • Usuba knives of this 195mm length are the usual size for a main kitchen knife.
  • Handle: not stated by the store.
  • Ginsan (Silver #3) is a stainless steel, which resists rust better than carbon steel.

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.

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

An usuba is the thin, single-bevel vegetable knife of Japanese restaurant kitchens, made for fine, even cuts. Ginsan (Silver #3) is stainless: it won't rust in normal use, so it is the easy choice for everyday cooking.
