Bunmei 1802/180 - 7 inch Usuba Knife -T

Bunmei 1802/180 - 7 inch Usuba Knife With a broad, cleaver-like, 7-inch blade, this professional-quality Japanese knife is ideal for precise chopping, mincing, and slicing. The shape, weight, and wood handle--which has a ridge to ensure a secure grip--are traditional, but the blade is made of thoroughly modern, extra-hard, molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel so it retains its edge longer than high-carbon stainless-steel blades. For clean, low-friction cutting, the edge is 'face-ground' on the right side only with a long taper at an acute angle and comes from the factory razor-sharp. This knife should be honed only with a synthetic whetstone or a ceramic whetstone and hand washed. --Fred Brack
