Product Features
For peeling vegetables and cutting them into decorative shapes
The usuba is a single-edged vegetable knife that is easy to use for peeling vegetables and decorative cutting, where beautiful cuts are required.
Since it has a single edge, care must be taken when cutting on the cutting board to avoid making an angled cut.
The Eastern style thin blade was used mainly in the Kanto region, and its square blade is excellent for carving as it transmits force evenly.
Reliable and lasting sharpness
Aogami is a steel material that has improved sharpness durability by adding chromium and tungsten to Shirogami.
Among them, Aogami No. 1 has a long-lasting sharpness, but is difficult to sharpen and prone to chipping, so it is recommended for those who are somewhat accustomed to handling knives.

Most of the chipping can be repaired by re-sharpening the blade. We offer a fee-based knife sharpening service. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask us using the inquiry form. Blades can chip by cutting hard ingredients such as bones, seeds or frozen food, dropping and mishandling, or stabbing into hard cutting boards.
All knives we handle can be repaired with the exception of knives that are severely damaged. Repairing chipping and removing rust will restore sharpness and allow you to use your knives for a longer period of time. We also offer a fee-based knife sharpening service.
