Japanese kitchen knife Ittetsu Usuba Forge-welded IJF-11140 16.5cm The Masahiro Sashimi knife weighsThe Japanese kitchen knife Ittetsu Usuba IJS 11140, which has a 165 mm forge welded blade made of Shirogami #2 carbon steel, was created especially for chopping vegetables. When cooking traditional Japanese food, the Usuba knife can be a very useful kitchen utensil. Magnolia wood is used to make the oval shaped handle. Because carbon steel is prone to rust, it needs to be maintained dry and clean at all times to prevent oxidation and discolouration.
