This Japanese knife called "Deba" is 165mm long (edge length). Its thickness is 6.5mm in the middle of the blade. This Deba is directly imported from Japan. Its style corresponds to the style of the city of Sakai (main city for the knife).
This is a high carbon steel knife with two layers. It comes from an old stock. It is a mid-range knife. The handle is oval shaped. It is made of magnolia and the bolster (ring at the top of the handle) is made of plastic.
This is a thick knife for working with fish. From deboning to trimming, it is the perfect knife for cleaning fish. The special feature of the Deba is that it has only one bevel, the back is flat. This changes the way the knife cuts. It is a knife that is originally designed for cleaning fish, but it is very pleasant in many other uses.
Warning! This is a carbon steel knife so it oxidizes, so no dishwasher, no cutting in acidic foods. It will need to be wiped after each use and oiled regularly.
With this knife, you can discover Japanese blades. For cooks, sushi chefs, fishmongers or simply amateur cooks.
