The Edo Usuba is a traditional Japanese vegetable knife that resembles a small cleaver, featuring a blunt tip ideal for tasks such as cutting the eye out of a potato. The knife is robust enough to chop through heavy root vegetables while being precise enough to thinly slice delicate tomatoes. The blade is made from White Steel #2, with a hardness of 62 on the Rockwell scale, and is carefully forged with iron to create the distinctive mist-like patterns known as Kasumi.
Our handmade Yoshihiro Kasumi knives are crafted by our master artisans with the utmost care to deliver high-quality knives that offer exceptional performance at an outstanding value. The Kasumi finish, a hallmark of traditional Japanese craftsmanship, enhances the blade’s aesthetic appeal while maintaining its sharpness and resilience. These knives offer a perfect balance between durability and beauty, making them indispensable in the kitchen.
Each Yoshihiro Kasumi knife comes with a traditional Japanese-style handcrafted Rosewood D-Shaped handle, designed for comfort and control, along with a Saya, a protective wooden sheath that ensures the blade remains in pristine condition and enhances the knife’s appearance when not in use.
The Edo Usuba is fast becoming a new essential companion to the popular chef’s knife. This versatile tool is cherished for its ability to chop through root vegetables and slice delicate tomatoes with ease. Whether preparing greens for a salad or chopping vegetables for a main dish, the Edo Usuba elevates even the simplest tasks with its beauty, craftsmanship, and unmatched functionality.
