Usuba Knife 7" Single Bevel | Ronin Series | Dalstrong ©

The Ronin Series 7” Usuba is the ultimate tool of choice for professional chefs looking to cut shockingly thin slices of fruits and vegetables with incredible precision and speed. Forged with a single piece of ultra-sharp AUS-10V Japanese super steel, and hand finished at an acute 15 degree angle using the traditional 3-step Honbazuke method, this tall and long, single-bevel, scalpel like edge is a multi-purpose kitchen assassin, ideal for tackling large and small ingredients, such as cabbages, carrots, cucumbers, and more. Whether used to finely cut raw fruits and vegetables to minimize cell damage and discoloration due to oxidation, or perform the specialized katsuramaki, or ‘rotary peeling’ technique to show off your expertise, the Ronin Series 7” Usuba is the ultimate secret to getting thin, super clean, picture perfect cuts.

The Ronin Series single bevel blade is precision forged from a single piece of ultra premium Japanese high-carbon AUS-10V steel, laminated on either side for stain-resistance and durability. Precise cryogenic tempering with liquid nitrogen increases the steel's crystalline structure, enhancing strength, flexibility and hardness.

Gorgeously laminated and hot-forged, the “Liquid-Kusari” pattern on the blade minimizes drag and stuck on food while maximizing your slicing efficiency, allowing you to glide through prep.  The super-steel core possesses extra high carbon levels, allowing for scalpel-like sharpness with exceptionally long lasting edge retention. Each knife is hand-finished in the Honbazuke 3-step method, creating a beautiful mirror polished edge at a staggeringly acute 10 degrees.

New to this series, the traditional octagon shaped handle. Meticulously constructed of a handsome combination of G-10 Garolite, an incredibly strong military grade, non-porous & fibreglass like material. The carefully engineered handle is designed for superior hand control and tapers slightly larger towards the tail of the handle, allowing for tactile feedback for better use of your knife. To further enhance the beauty, an intricate copper mosaic pin adorns the center rivet.

Included with each knife is a handcrafted wood saya (sheath) with embedded magnet to ensure a perfectly secure fit, instilling confidence that your blade is carefully protected.
