Saisei
Saisei is our own knife series: used knives restored by us, IRO with handles made from collected plastic, and unused stock from the 1970s.
All knives from SaiseiAbout the knife type: Usuba (vegetable knife)
A usuba is a traditional Japanese single-bevel vegetable knife. It is relatively tall, giving good knuckle clearance, and is sharpened on one side. It is often used in sushi restaurants to cut vegetables decoratively with sharpness and precision.
When sharpening a usuba, sharpen at a higher angle on one side and a zero angle on the flat side.
Care and maintenance
Wash by hand in warm water, and dry it straight away.
Never the dishwasher. Use a cutting board of wood or plastic, not glass or stone.
