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.

Don't waste money on this one
Ordered in January 2026. Worked good the first few times. Now it just rotates around and around the can but doesn't cut anything. I'm so disappointed because it failed shortly after my return window closed.

Easy to use! No more hand cranking.
If you like the ease of an electric can opener, but don’t have room to store it or don’t want to drag it out when you need to use it, this is for you. I like a handheld can opener, but would get so frustrated trying to use it and turn the handle. This can opener is amazing and so easy to use. Just attach to can and push a button. It starts turning on its own and when it is done it stops. You lift it up and the lid comes off cleanly. It is rechargeable so need to worry about batteries. It tucks away in a drawer nicely. I bought my mom one too. She has arthritis in her hands so thought this would be perfect for her.

Smooth edges better than twisting
Works a lot better than the crank style and the counter top electric and you can use the lid to reseal the can if you don't use the whole thing.

Worked for only 4 months. Now produces metal shards. Dangerous
Pros: Can be used with one hand. I bought this to have after surgery that left me without use of one arm for a few months. The light blinks when you need to charge it. Only needs a 2-3 min charge for enough juice to open a can. Cons: IT QUIT CUTTING CORRECTLY AFTER 4 MONTHS. I now have to use both hands to hold it in place to get it to latch on to the can. It also requires a few rotations around the top to cut through the seal, resulting in METAL SHARDS! The metal shards are super sharp and almost invisible. I stabbed myself with one enough to draw blood. This is dangerous as the metal could fall into the food when pouring from the can.
