So I got a new Usuba recently and have just tested it on a cucumber. Am I being over cautious? :lol2:
Anyway, it was a great experience! This thing glides through it as if it was going through air! If anything it brought quite a few questions/observations:
- Is there any point in trying out/getting a Nakiri if you learn how to use the Usuba?
- Any tips ion learning Katsura muki? How to get started, videos, etc...
- I didn't feel any steering on this first attempt, is it because of the way I was cutting?
- This thing can make paper thin cuts, I am going to cut crisps/chips with it next! :hungry:
So far great first experience and I am looking forward to see how far this will take me. The Usuba is perfectly sharpened and in shirogami.
