Information
Masahiro MC-700 Usuba - 16 cm
"No more vegetables sticking together at the bottom."
Many mistake this shape for a meat cleaver, but the Masahiro MC-700 Usuba is the exact opposite: An elegant vegetable specialist. The perfectly straight edge ensures that the entire blade hits the cutting board simultaneously. The result? You avoid the annoying "accordion effect" where onion rings or cucumber slices remain attached at the skin. This is the tool that turns tedious chopping into a breeze.
Perfect for:
- ✅ Julienne: Cutting perfect, thin strips of carrots and turnips.
- ✅ Chopping: The straight edge is designed for rapid "up-and-down" chopping.
- ✅ Scooping: The wide blade acts as a spatula to lift food into the pan.
🎓 Fun Fact: What does "Usuba" mean?
Usuba (薄刃) simply means "Thin Blade". In Japan, the term is often used for professional single-bevel vegetable knives, but Masahiro uses the name for this model to emphasize the precision and fine work it is created for.
🪵 Traditional Grip
The MC-700 series comes with a classic wooden handle that gives the knife an authentic Japanese look. The wood is light, giving the knife a forward balance towards the blade - exactly where you want the weight when cutting vegetables.
🚫 Important Care Instructions
This is a precision instrument. Should not be used on bones or frozen food (the edge may chip). Wash only by hand with mild soap and dry immediately.
Do you love soups, salads, or stir-frys? Then the Masahiro Usuba will quickly become the most used knife in your kitchen.
