About the Masutani Kokuryu

The Usuba is the professional Japanese vegetable knife - a single-bevel blade designed for the precise cuts demanded in Japanese cuisine: katsuramuki (rotary peeling), fine julienne, and paper-thin slices. Masutani's Kokuryu line uses VG10 stainless steel, delivering exceptional sharpness at an outstanding price point. The tall, flat blade gives excellent knuckle clearance and full contact with the cutting board. The blue pakkawood handle is moisture-resistant and comfortable for extended prep sessions. Made in Echizen, Japan's historic blade-making region.

Care and Maintenance

  • Hand wash only - never dishwasher
  • Dry immediately after use
  • Hone on a leather strop - no ceramic rod for single-bevel blades
  • Sharpen on whetstones; single-bevel geometry requires care on the flat side
  • Store on a magnetic rack or in a saya (blade guard)
