A 180mm KS honkasumi kamagata usuba from Masamoto Sohonten. The KS series, a popular choice among collectors and culinary professionals alike, features a high-grade shirogami#2/white#2 core steel and a higher level of refinement compared to the KK series. Heat-treated to 62-63 HRC, this steel excels in attaining remarkable hardness without excessive brittleness. The blade seamlessly integrates with a classic d-shaped magnolia handle adorned by a black horn ferrule.
The kamagata usuba is a traditional Japanese vegetable knife characterized by its unique curved profile and pointed tip. Ideal for precise vegetable cuts and decorative work, it provides versatility in the kitchen while excelling in delicate slicing and intricate garnishing.
