Kichiji Kasumi Kamagata Usuba 180mm Rosewood Handle
This is the Kansai style ofuba, the name literally means “thin edge” as this shape is particularly thin behind the edge to facilitate exceptionally fine vegetable preparation. Hammer forged in Yasuki Kigami clad with soft iron with a Rose wood handle. Yasuki Kigami is smiler to Shirogami-2, its fine grain structure and minimal alloying mean it will take a very smooth edge easily whilst retaining it well. This knife is made in Sakai, Osaka Prefecture, renowned to produce single bevel cutlery.
