“Usuba” Knifes were designed to effortlessness prepare vegetables and fruits. The name itself translates to “thin blade,” used to cut and slice vegetables and fruits without damaging fibers. Their single beveled design helps to achieve thiner and more pricise slices and cuts. Prefect for peeling tasks as well.

Aogami No.2 (Hitachi Metals Ltd.) is made by adding Chromium and Tungsten / Wolfram to Shirogami No.2. This results in increased toughness and the production of hard carbide molecules which improve edge retention. Many knife users have noted that while Aogami No.2 is very similar to Shirogami No.2 in terms of edge sharpness, it has slightly superior edge retention.

Traditional Kasumi polished finish. Kasumi roughly translated to “mist” or “cloud” and refers to the hazy appearance of the soft steel/iron cladding, in contrast to the fine polished cutting edge. This elegant finish is very common on traditional style Japanese blades.

At first, I was surprised by the aesthetic beauty that goes far beyond what is proposed in photo: a true work of art. Then, there was the pleasure of using it, the perception of solidity that conveys a feeling of safety and reliability combined with ease and precision of cut.
I really love this knife.
Received very quickly with a perfect packaging.

Thank You very much for this wonderful very sharp knive !

Great knife

Great knife for those with larger than usual hands with both a longer handle and taller blade then the typical Nakiri, it’s a pleasure to use.

Excellent Knife

I am very happy with my recently purchased Nakiri knife. The knife is perfect for my needs and was great value. The knife arrived very quickly and communication has been excellent.

Perfect !

I own multiple beautiful knives purchased over many years from musashihamono and each time i wonder if the new one could possibly surpass the existing. They are works of art with exquisite workmanship and literally effortless sharpening to a fine edge. This magnificent Nakiri is now our favourite fortis incredible balance and weight that allows thé took to do all of the work. It’s the first time I’ve owned a vegetable knife as such and I’m blown away. Why did I wait so long. Beautiful to look at and effortless to use and maintain. Get yourself one of these - highly recommend !

Handmade Forging

With the traditional forging process, the molecules of the iron material are finely tuned, leading to the completion of a "living kitchen knife" that breathes.

Durability

The process of heating and forging each material for mold making is repeated three or four times to quickly shape the blade and create durability before the carbon is released from the steel causing it to lose its original strength.

Sharpness

The blade is the most important factor in achieving the best possible sharpness. It is polished in our own blade factory to produce uncompromising sharpness.

Handle

The highest priority is placed on sturdiness, a sense of luxury, and a shape that is easy to grip and does not cause fatigue even after long hours of use.
