Kaiden G3 Stainless 195 Usuba - Ebony

Kaiden Usuba

This is a limited edition high end usuba - single bevel vegetable knife with excellent fit and finish. 

For those that prefer low maintenance blades, this Kaiden Usuba is highly recommended. High carbon stainless steel called Ginsanko (G-3) by Hitachi is an excellent choice for rust resistant Sakai forged knives.

The knifemaking process involves joining a piece of hard steel to softer stainless which is then hammer forged. The hard G3 stainless becomes the sharp and strong cutting edge while the softer stainless steel becomes the supportive spine of the blade.

Comes with saya - knife sheath.

Knife care for stainless steel knives - SINGLE BEVEL

• Never put in the dishwasher.
• Never use a honing steel to sharpen a single bevel knife. You will damage the edge profile.
• Do not cut through bones, frozen foods or extremely dense items.
• Dry thoroughly after washing and do not store unless fully dry.
• Always cut with a smooth action and never twist the blade, sideways pressure will damage the blade.
• Kataba blades have a much thinner bevel. Improper care and mistakes may result in chipping.
