Kikuichi Warikomi Elite 6.5" Usuba Nakiri Knife

The Kikuichi Warikomi Elite 6.5" Usuba Nakiri Knife is a traditionally-shaped Japanese vegetable knife. The large 6.5" blade will handle medium to larger vegetables, cabbages and other leafy greens. Japanese cuisine stresses the importance and beauty of seasonal ingredients, referred to as "shun" and so vegetables are of major importance. The literal translation of usuba is "thin blade" and without this incredibly sharp and thin blade, the knife would break down the cell walls of vegetables, causing ingredients to discolor and decrease in flavor. Hand wash only.
