Kenji Togashi-san is a mastersmith who works almost exclusively with the family sharpener to create superb cutting tools that are extremely rewarding to sharpen. We recommend Togashi blades to cooks with a deep appreciation for craft and forging, with a healthy interest in hand sharpening and polishing with whetstones.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAn Usuba is a traditional Japanese single-sided blade that is designed mainly for rotary peeling (‘katsuramuki’ in Japanese) various vegetables. Once peeled into thin sheets, the vegetables can be cut into micro-julienne strips that can serve as a bed for the main ingredients of the dish, such as sashimi slices on a bed of daikon. We recommend an usuba for any professional cooks working in a Japanese style restaurant, looking to perfect the art of katsuramuki and preparing vegetable garnishes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrand: Hitohira \u003cbr\u003eSmith: Togashi Blacksmith \u003cbr\u003eSharpener: Kenya Togashi \u003cbr\u003eProducing Area: Sakai-Osaka\/ Japan \u003cbr\u003eProfile: Usuba \u003cbr\u003eSize: 240mm \u003cbr\u003eSteel Type: Carbon Steel \u003cbr\u003eSteel: Yasuki White (Shirogami) #2, Soft Iron Clad \u003cbr\u003eHandle: Ho Wood \u0026amp; Buffalo Horn Ferrule D-Shape \u003cbr\u003eCome with Saya \u003cbr\u003eTotal Length: 395mm \u003cbr\u003eEdge Length: 228mm \u003cbr\u003eHandle to Tip Length: 246mm \u003cbr\u003eBlade Height: 56mm \u003cbr\u003eThickness: 3.9mm \u003cbr\u003eHandle Length: 148mm \u003cbr\u003eWeight: 274g \u003cbr\u003eHand Orientation: Right-Handed \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hitohira","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42780021948510,"sku":"AAA-080W2T-04-LB240","price":720.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0766\/4111\/files\/Togashi240Usuba1.jpg?v=1781453714","url":"https:\/\/toshoknifearts.com\/products\/aaa-080w2t-04-lb240","provider":"Tosho Knife Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
