The **Tojiro Shirogami F-918 usuba** is a traditional Japanese vegetable knife. It is very similar to a nakiri, but the usuba is sharpened on one side. The straight edge makes it easy to cut very thin and straight slices.

## Tojiro Shirogami: steel with a special grind

The knives are enhanced with a core made from White #2 Steel, also known as Shirogami #2, with an outer layer of iron. As the core is very tough, Tojiro was able to apply an incredibly thin grind to these knives, ensuring unparalleled sharpness. Please note: these knives are not stainless and are certainly not dishwasher safe! Wash these knives by hand and dry them well. Read more about [how to maintain Japanese kitchen knives here](/en/ct/use-and-maintenance-of-japanese-kitchen-knives.htm).

The knives are enhanced with a one-sided grind. Because of this grind, the edge pushes the slices off the blade. To make cutting even easier, the other side of the blade is enhanced with a hollow grind. This subtle cavity means there is always a little air between the ingredient and the knife, for the lowest possible resistance! This allows you to cut wafer-thin, delicate slices.

## Tojiro Shirogami: handle made from magnolia wood

The traditional D-shaped handle is made from magnolia wood. This is a light type of wood, both in weight and colour. The bolster is made from black synthetic resin. The bolster is not just there for style, it also ensures that the knife is perfectly balanced. Please take into account that wood is a natural product. The product you receive may differ in terms of pattern and colour. The materials used remain the same.

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.
