Usuba with a rounded tip is used in the Kansai region(West area).
The Kanto(East ares) type has a square tip.

White steel(Yasuki Hagane) is a standard steel that knife used by
professionals cook most often.
This steel is a high-purity steel with more impurities removed.
It is a knife that is characterized by sharp cuts, making it easier to
re-sharpen compared to blue steel(Yasuki Hagane) and making it a highly
cost-effective knife.


The Shigami-2(WS#2) Yoshihiro-Kasumi series is often the first product for those
who want to use a slightly better kitchen knife for home use and for professional
junior chefs.
Since it is carbon steel, it has a very sharp blade, so it has good sharpness,
but if it keeps water and salt, it will rust, so please be careful.
If you can't sharpen your kitchen knife, we don't recommend you to buy it.
