Global Bunmei Usuba 18 cm single-edged - Cromova 18 steel - Honoki wood handle

Right-sided single-bevel Usuba with 18 cm blade length

The Usuba is a Nakiri with a single-sided bevel. The single-sided edge allows even more precise cuts and, for example, makes it easy to slice vegetables paper-thin. Because of the single-sided grind, the cut food hardly sticks to the blade and almost “falls” off.

The blade is made of Cromova 18 steel with a hardness of 59(±1) HRC. Unlike the regular Global knives, the blades of the Bunmei series are ground finer and therefore appear sharper.

The handle of the Bunmei series is made of Honoki wood, a light Japanese magnolia wood with a fine grain. For this knife, the handle is in a D-shaped (chestnut) form. The transition between handle and blade is marked by a plastic ferrule.
