Miki M903 -Kama-Usuba, 180 mm,

This Japanese vegetable knife has a Sanmai forged blade with core steel from Japanese Shirogami # 2 steel ("white steel") (non-stainless) and a softer steel type for the outside. This single-sided sharpened knife is completely hand-forged by Miki Hamono's forge and is unique in its kind.

A kama-Usuba knife is the typical Japanese vegetable knife with a rounded point, because of its shape this knife is ideal for embossing vegetables and herbs.

Because this knife has a Mune-machi (notch in the blade when entering the handle), the length is traditionally measured from the machi, so the blade is somewhat shorter than the "regular" usubas of the same length that are measured from the Ago (back point).

  • Blade length: 180 mm
  • Total length: 325 mm
  • Weight: 192 grams
  • Blade thickness (measured on the back): with handle: 4.3 mm and 5 cm from the tip: 3.1 mm
  • Steel type: core steel: Japanese Shirogami # 2 steel "white steel" (single-sided cut)
  • Hardness: 62-64 (Rockwell C)
  • Handle: D-shaped handle of traditional Honoki wood ("Whitebark Magnolia") with black buffalo horn bolster.
  • NOTE: this knife is only suitable for right-handed use.

Like all Japanese knives, the handmade knives from Miki Hamono are not dishwasher safe, cleaning and drying after each use is the best treatment for these exclusive products.
