Usuba Knives [Vegetable]
In Japanese, Usuba means thin, which is an appropriate description of this knife designed for preparing vegetables, where a thin blade is essential. When cutting firm vegetables such as carrots, it is important that the blade cuts instead of splitting, as can often happen with thicker knives.
Designed for cutting vegetables, the Usuba is perfect for long or short cuts, while the thin tip allows for precise work. Because the entire flat edge of the knife touches the cutting board in a clean, vertical motion, no horizontal pulling or pushing is required.
