Crafted in Sakai, Japan the Gorobei range of traditional Japanese chef knife are a performance tool at an entry level price. A great workhorse, or professional level introduction into single bevel Japanese knives.
We have 1 x B finish available. There are patina marks on parts of the blade as this was on display. It has not been used, just on display in store. Standard finish is not perfect, but this is a little worse :)

* As our kitchen knives are hand-made (some with natural materials like timber), small variation to size and colour may occur.
* Non stainless steel kitchen and chef knives require a small amount of care to prevent surface rust. Even though this can easily be removed if it does occur, we recommend you hand wash and thoroughly dry after each use, do not use a dishwasher. For extended storage, coat in an oil like our Tsubaki.
Japanese Kitchen Knife | Usuba (Vegetable Knife)
Usuba knives have a flat profile which aids in push chopping but does make rock style cutting a little uncomfortable. Chefs that cook with vegetables often really appreciate this style, quite specialised but it excels in this cooking arena.
