The Mac Japanese Series Vegetable Knife 16.5 cm (JU-65) is a double-bevel usuba designed for precision slicing of fruits and vegetables. Its straight edge ensures full contact with the cutting board, making it ideal for clean, even cuts without the need to rock the blade. Traditionally used for katsura-muki — creating paper-thin sheets of vegetables like daikon or cucumber — this versatile knife also adapts to everyday tasks, from produce to fish and meat.
