The usuba (薄刃包丁)is a traditional Japanese style knife mainly used for cutting vegetables. Pretty much most of them are single bevel edge. The knife would break down the cell walls of vegetables,giving ingredients to not discolour and decrease in flavor . Also kept the vegetables fresh a lot longer which every kitchen should have one.
This knife is for right handed.
