About Usuba Knives

Usuba knives are traditional Japanese vegetable knives, known for their precision and versatility. These knives feature a straight edge and a single bevel, making them ideal for performing intricate cuts and preparing vegetables with exceptional accuracy.

Design and Purpose

Usuba knives are characterized by their:

  • Blade Length: Typically ranging from 6.5 to 10 inches.
  • Blade Shape: A flat edge with a rectangular blade, designed for precise vegetable slicing and chopping.
  • Single Bevel Edge: A unique feature that provides exceptional sharpness and control for detailed cuts.
  • Handle: Traditional Japanese handle, often made from wood, providing a comfortable and secure grip.

This design makes the Usuba knife ideal for tasks such as peeling, slicing, and creating decorative garnishes with vegetables.

The cutting edge angle of an Usuba knife is crucial for its performance in vegetable preparation. Most Usuba knives have a blade edge angle between 10 and 15 degrees. This sharp angle allows for precise, clean cuts, ensuring that vegetables are sliced without crushing or tearing.
