Specifications
The Shigefusa kasumi usuba 210mm is a handcrafted Japanese vegetable knife forged in Sanjo. This single-bevel knife features a proprietary Swedish carbon steel core with reactive iron cladding and kasumi finish. The kasumi finish creates a subtle contrast between the polished core steel and the hazier cladding. The blade measures 195mm with 48.2mm height and weighs 262g. This usuba is designed for precise vegetable cutting in Japanese cuisine. The iron cladding will develop a natural patina over time with use. Shigefusa knives are made in small batches and remain sought after by collectors.

Why is the blade length different from the displayed size? The size in the product title is a nominal reference used by knife makers. The actual blade can be slightly longer or shorter due to handcrafting and traditional sizing. Each product page lists the exact measured length.
