Award Winning Shirogami 210mm Kanto Usuba For Kids [axZIFbKL]

The Ittetsu Shirogami Series is forged from White #2 steel, showcasing a rustic Kurouchi finish and Nimai blade construction. Its hammered Tsuchime texture minimizes drag, allowing the blade to slice through ingredients with minimal resistance. Paired with a traditional magnolia Wa-handle, this series delivers both aesthetics and functionality. Known for its ease of sharpening and outstanding edge retention, the carbon steel ensures long-lasting performance. The Kanto Usuba, originating from the Tokyo region, is designed for precision vegetable work. "Usuba" means "thin" in Japanese, and the straight, slim blade excels in push-cutting and katsuramuki techniques. Its fine edge is particularly effective for slicing through firm vegetables cleanly, without splitting, a common issue with thicker blades.
