Introducing the Yoshihiro Left Handed Kasumi Edo Usuba, a remarkable vegetable knife that merges traditional craftsmanship with exceptional performance. This knife, reminiscent of a small cleaver, features a blunt tip designed for precise tasks, such as easily removing the eyes from potatoes. With its hefty construction, the Usuba excels at chopping through heavy root vegetables while its sharp blade allows for delicate slicing of tomatoes. Each handmade knife is crafted by our master artisans with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring high-quality performance that provides excellent value.

Forged from White Steel #2 with a hardness rating of 62 on the Rockwell scale, this Usuba knife showcases beautiful mist patterns known as Kasumi. The unique design of the Yoshihiro Left Handed Kasumi Edo Usuba features a cleaver shape and a straight cutting edge, allowing for clean cuts that penetrate the vegetable's fibers effortlessly. The single-edge blade design maximizes contact with the cutting surface, resulting in unparalleled efficiency and precision in your kitchen.

In true traditional Kasumi craftsmanship, this knife is constructed by layering softer steel over a hard steel core. The high-carbon core, made from White Steel #2, ensures superior sharpness and edge retention, while the surrounding softer iron enhances durability, making it an essential tool for any chef.

Handcrafted in Japan, the Yoshihiro Left Handed Kasumi Edo Usuba boasts a completely flat ground on the front (shinogi) and a concave ground (urasuki) with a flat rim (uraoshi) on the back. The remarkable hardness of the White Steel #2 (62 HRC) enables our skilled artisans to create a thin, sharp cutting edge that exemplifies the essence of traditional Japanese knife-making. The knife features the iconic kasumi mist-like pattern on the blade's back and is accompanied by a shitan bolster, a magnolia wood knife cover, knife oil, and a rust eraser set, ensuring you have everything you need to maintain its beauty and performance.

With its handcrafted shitan wood D-shaped handle, this knife is not only aesthetically pleasing but also well-balanced for comfortable use. To preserve the sharp edge of your knife, remember that traditional Japanese knife-making emphasizes care and attention. Always sharpen and hone your knife with water whetstones, and hand wash and dry immediately after use—especially when working with acidic ingredients. Avoid cutting through bones, nutshells, or frozen foods to ensure your Usuba remains in peak condition for years to come. Elevate your culinary skills with this exquisite knife that beautifully combines artistry with functionality.

Great lip balm
I have had chapped lips for most of my adult life. This product has been the first product that I have used, where my lips are not cracked, peeling or dry. There is no smell or taste, very neutral. I had to use the balm frequently in the beginning, now maybe only several times a day. One tube last a long time I highly recommend this lip balm.

Just ok
These are just simply too large to use as chapstick unless you do both top and bottom at the same time ( no thank you). I threw them away. 3 stars because it appears to be a good product, but they got the packaging all wrong to call it chap stick.

Replaced Vaseline - Far superior product
I received this as a gift a few months ago and it's all I use now. I use it on my lips and on my neck wrinkles. Do not leave it in a warm environment, like hot car or pants pockets, it will get very soft. If it does get soft, i just dab it on ranther than rolling/wiping on. Also its best to roll it down when not in use, but not necessary. I used to be addicted to Vaseline products for my lips and this is far superior in many ways.

Not really good as a lip balm
It is way too melty or liquidy when applying. It's like putting oil on your lips. No staying power. I actually ended using it more as a skin moisturizer like a lotion. It's pretty good for that. I haven't even tried taking it with me in my pocket as I think it'll turn to a liquid like coconut oil down here in sunny hot Florida. .
