Yamato 165 - Usuba Knife 165mm- Right Hand
Yamato 165 by Ginza Steel - Handcrafted Usuba 165mm Knife - Made in Seki City of Japan
Nikiri literally means “vegetable knife” in its original Japanese name, it is specifically for cutting vegetables. It is suitable for chopping and dicing ingredients because there is no tip and the blade is straight. Historically, it has been used on a daily basis by the general population as it was designated as the easy-to-use knife for everyone. The blade has no curvature and the straight blade is easy to sharpen and handle. Unless the person is familiar, it is often hard to cleanly sharpen a knife with curves; however, there is no worry with this type of vegetable knife.

It’s just the perfect things I need for cutting vegetables, meat and fish
I wanted a utility knife of some kind to compliment my Miyabi without breaking the bank. Found this to be a great option. Nice blade, great design, and the handle is very nice and comfortable. Definitely recommend.

I wanted a versatile knife and this is it !
Love it..sharp, comfortable to use….fits hand….tbe Best knife I have. Thank you JapanChefKnife Happy with this must have knife❤️🔔🌲
I have a few Japanese knives of high carbon steel that are my favourites, but the claim of VG10 steel on this blade at this price made it irresistible. The blade came sharp, but I typically sharpen to a higher level. Although I haven't refined the edge yet, I look forward to seeing the results on this blade, as I really like it on some of my pocket knives.
Came with in the time range, the package was rapped great and was sold.
Shipped quickly. Looks as described... It's gorgeous. Feels sturdy.
Exactly what I was looking. Top quality
This meat fork (Fleishe Gabel in German) looks awesome and very well-made, just like my oversized Guede Alpha Brot Messer was. I've received several compliments about it already this year, including a "WOW, that's really cool!" from the Made-In store manager in Austin.
Definitely would recommend Guede knives to anyone who wants quality kitchen knives that will last a lifetime and be passed down to the next generation! Ausgutzeichnet (Excellent)!
Shipping time was very good and am very happy with my new knife
