★Brand New Unused★ Gō Umanosuke Yoshihiro White Steel #2 Jo-saku Usukba Knife 210mm (7 inch) Buffalo Horn Handle, Polished Bolster, Gift Box Included

From Sakai, the heartland of Japanese knives.

This is a genuine Sakai-forged Usuba knife, a Kamagata Usuba (Kama-gata Usuba) for the Kansai region, featuring the brand name Go-Umanosuke Yoshihiro from the blade manufacturer Yamawaki Hamono Seisakusho.

This is a brand new, unused item.

Blade length: 210mm (7 sun)

Made with high-quality Yasuki Steel Shirogami #2 (white paper steel #2), a high-purity, low-impurity high-carbon steel.

The steel and iron are carefully forged together using Sakai's traditional forging techniques.

This is a Kasumi-finished, right-handed single-bevel Japanese knife forged from steel.

It is made of steel and prone to rust, but its sharpness is exceptional!

The blade is expertly sharpened with a true, sharp edge, including the ura-oshi (back polishing) process, ensuring excellent cutting performance.

Because the steel is Shirogami #2, it offers superb sharpness that also lasts.

It can be resharpened and used repeatedly.

This is a right-handed single-bevel Japanese knife.

The blade has a sickle-like shape with a rounded tip, making it safe to use.

It is also useful for cutting vegetables and peeling.

With its right-handed single bevel, the blade easily cuts and can be used for peeling gourds (katsura muki), allowing for clean peeling.

This is a convenient knife to have for Japanese cuisine.

The handle is made of high-quality buffalo horn.

The ferrule area is finely polished, making it gentle on the fingers.

This is a high-quality Usuba knife crafted with attention to detail.
