7 Inch Usuba Knife

About this product

The Messermeister 7" Usuba Knife is a broad bladed single edge blade with a distinctively curved, flat tip and looks like a cleaver. Usuba knives are traditional Japanese vegetable knives. The word Usuba means "thin blade", which is perfect for cutting vegetables without cracking or breaking them. The blade length is 7" and it is traditionally used like a paring knife by holding it in the air and cutting the item being held by the other hand.

Usage

The single edge blade is used mainly to cut vegetables such as Daikon and Cucumber into paper thin slices and is so sharp it can thin peel in a continuous strip (katsura-muki) a Tsuma, a Japanese radish which is served with sashimi.
