Description

The Atlantic Chef Usuba Knife features a handle made from a combination of Santoprene for a non-slip, comfortable grip, and polypropylene for tough use. The blade is made from German steel 1.4116, which consists of carbon, chromium, vanadium, molybdenum, and other elements. Through hardening, tempering, grinding, and sharpening, it attains a hardness of at least HRC 56. The hand-honed, razor-sharp edge ensures long-lasting sharpness, excellent edge retention, easy maintenance, and quick re-sharpening. The Usuba knife features a straight, thin blade that excels at making clean, delicate cuts, particularly with vegetables and fruits. Its single bevel provides a sharp, accurate edge ideal for slicing, dicing, and julienning. This knife is a favoured tool for chefs specializing in Japanese cuisine or those requiring meticulous knife work.
