The Saku Usuba is a Japanese kitchen knife in the Usuba style, produced by the Hirotomo Hocho workshop, renowned for its affordable knives with excellent cutting power. These knives are suitable for the precise cutting of vegetables and fruits, particularly for delicate cuts that preserve the texture of the produce.
