Mainly used as an Usuba and a Yanagiba, its versatility makes it suitable for other uses. It is made with a sloping cut from its back towards its tip, pointed like a Bunka. It is recommended for chopping and cutting up ingredients.

The central core material SLD (alloy tool steel) used for the blade edge is a performance steel that is incredibly rich in Carbon equal to the famed Yasuki Aogami and is tempered to the Rockwell 62-64 for exceptional sharpness and edge holding properties. Its high Chromium content dramatically contributes to the blade’s rust resistance.
