Sakai Takayuki | Chef's Japanese Knife | Kamagata Usuba | 195mm

Rust-Resistant Authentic Japanese Knife: Chef's Knife, Kamagata Usuha (Thin Blade), 195mm, Made with Ginsan Steel and an Octagonal Magnolia Handle

• Use: A vegetable knife with a sharp tip that is popular in the Kansai region. The 195mm blade is slightly longer than the standard 180mm, making it more efficient at peeling radishes. It also lasts longer even after sharpening, making it a preferred size for professionals who take good care of their tools. The sharp tip also allows for decorative cutting.
• Material: Made using the same manufacturing method as traditional Japanese knives, the steel used is Hitachi Metals' rust-resistant "Ginsanko." Even though it is a vegetable knife that is constantly in contact with water, it is rust-resistant, prevents discoloration and a metallic smell, and does not impair the flavor of delicate vegetables.
• Handle: The octagonal handle is made from simple, pleasant-to-the-touch magnolia wood. The corners sharpen the sense of touch in your fingertips, allowing for precise handling, even when cutting decoratively.

"I want work efficiency, precision in crafting, and ease of maintenance all in one." This is a practical knife with a good balance of size and functionality that satisfies the demands of such professionals.
