Information

Masahiro MC-700 Usuba 16 cm: vegetable knife with a completely straight edge

Do you know the onion rings and cucumber slices that stay joined at the bottom? That happens when the knife does not reach the whole cutting board. The Masahiro MC-700 Usuba has a completely straight edge, so the whole blade meets the board at once. Slices are cut all the way through, and chopping goes quickly.

16 cm blade
Completely straight edge
Wide blade works as a scoop
Classic wooden handle

Usuba means thin blade in Japanese. In Japan the name is often used for professional vegetable knives, and Masahiro uses it here to show that the knife is made for precise vegetable work. The wide blade works as a scoop when food is moved into the pan. The handle is light wood, and the balance sits slightly forward towards the blade, where you want the weight when cutting.

Pro tip!
Never use the knife on bone, frozen food or hard surfaces such as glass and stone. A hard Japanese blade is made for clean cuts, and the edge can chip if it is used like a cleaver.

Features

  • Julienne: Thin sticks of carrot and swede.
  • Chopping: The straight edge is made for quick up and down chopping.
  • Lift and move: The wide blade works as a scoop.
  • Straight edge: Slices are cut all the way through.
  • Wooden handle: Light handle with balance towards the blade.

How to use

  1. Rinse and dry the knife before first use.
  2. Use a wooden or plastic cutting board to protect the edge.
  3. Wash by hand after use and dry well straight away.
  4. Store the knife in a knife block, on a magnetic strip or with an edge guard, not loose in a drawer.
  5. Maintain the edge with a honing rod or whetstone as needed.
