The Usuba Kama-gata is a traditional Japanese vegetable knife, similar to a small cleaver, with a sharp tip that makes it ideal for intricate tasks. Hefty enough to chop through root vegetables, its blade is also capable of thinly slicing delicate tomatoes. This versatile knife is crafted for precision and performance, making it an indispensable tool in any kitchen.

Our handmade Yoshihiro Kasumi knives are expertly crafted by master artisans, ensuring exceptional quality and performance. Forged from White Steel #2, with a hardness of 62 on the Rockwell scale, the steel is combined with iron to create the beautiful mist-like patterns known as Kasumi. This traditional forging technique enhances the knife’s durability and sharpness, ensuring it holds a fine edge.

Yoshihiro Kasumi knives are celebrated for their unparalleled craftsmanship and performance. Each knife is paired with a handcrafted magnolia wood handle, which is affixed with a Water Buffalo horn bolster. A Saya, a protective wooden sheath, is also included, which not only shields the blade but also adds to the knife's aesthetic appeal when not in use.

Designed for those who appreciate the artistry and functionality of traditional Japanese cutlery, the Yoshihiro Kasumi Usuba is an exceptional addition to any kitchen.
