Hokiyama Kakugata-Usuba 165mm (6.5″) Must Have

Hokiyama smithy made this knife just for SharpEdge. We asked them to combine their proven Usuba blade shape and stainless steel (AUS-8), then match it with a traditional magnolia Japanese (Wa) handle with a buffalo horn ferrule. Usuba is a proud member of the traditional Japanese trio (along with yanagiba and deba knives) used to prepare sushi, sashimi and other Japanese specialties! The word Kakugata refers to the specific rectangular shape of this knife – kaku means square in Japanese.
