Deba is a sturdy fish knife with a solid and thick blade. The blade doesn't bend even if force is applied. It is often used to remove large fish scales, handle the bones, open the back of the fish, and cut the bones. The blade's thickness and weight can help to cut off fish heads without damaging the blade, as well as the small bones of chicken.

DESCRIPTION

Shirogami No.2 has minimal impurities and a very fine grain structure, so it is ideal for fine cutting tools such as Japanese traditional-style knives. Despite being a ‘simple’ carbon steel, Shirogami No.2 has very good edge retention and it is also very easy to re-sharpen. Recommended for first-time users of Japanese traditional-style knives.Traditional Kasumi polished finish. Kasumi roughly translated to “mist” or “cloud” and refers to the hazy appearance of the soft steel/iron cladding, in contrast to the fine polished cutting edge. This elegant finish is very common on traditional style Japanese blades.

Love this knife. VERY sharp and light to use. Awesome design. Thanks!

Amazing

I was looking already a time for Deba knives and thanks to the great choices on musashihamon I purchased 3 over the last weeks which were all perfectly delivered thanks to the kind services . I purchased also the 270 yanagiba and the 240 Gyuto, all with the special wood handle which is really different to other woods. Although I didn’t use them yet, all 3 show great craftsmanship and are very sharp.

Gift for a left hander

I bought this for a 13 year old left handed grandson who struggles in the kitchen with right handed knives. A chef friend suggested I check your website ( and to make sure any knife is sharpened!) The knife arrived promptly and is so beautifully presented in its own box that I decided to save it for his birthday in a couple of months. Very, very happy with my purchase. Hope to provide feedback further down the track from the left hander!
