The Usuba is sharpened on one side and made of double-layered steel. Usuba Hochos are heavier than Nakiri Hochos and prefered by professional cooks.
The Japanese Chopping Knives Deba is made of two layers of steel and sharpened on one side, usually the right side. We carry a few chopping knives for lefthanders, they are sharpened on the left side. These chopping knives are for chopping herbs and carving meat and poultry. The blade is thick and heavy, and bevelled on one side only. Hard carbon steel and toughened iron have been forge-welded. The polished side of the cutting edge of steel is hollow ground to make the use of hone and strop easier. One knife comes with Damascus blade.
Thickness of blade is measured in the middle of the blade back. Usually towards the tang the blade is thicker and towards the tip thinner. Given measurements vary slightly due to the fact, that most knives include a lot of hand work.
