Made by Hideo Kitaoka this stunning Damascus Usuba is only suitable for right handed users. Its single bevel blade makes it the perfect vegetable knife for precision work. The blade is constructed of one core steel and 10 layers of outer steel.

Important information; Carbon steel knives will oxidise and discolour. This is not a fault, it is a nature of the material. They must be dried after use and traditionally they are treated after use with camellia oil which inhibits the oxidation process. If the fact that carbon steel requires a little bit more maintenance is of concern then a laminated or folded steel knife should be considered. You can purchase rust erasers to clean the blades.

Blade length 170mm
Blade construction Folded steel
Blade material Shirogami
Blade shape Usuba
Handle material Red sandalwood handle, black pakkawood ferrule and stainless steel ring
