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.

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.

Kurouchi Finish, the unprocessed (black) part on the top side of the blade has already developed a dark patina, which protects the blade and gives it a traditional Japanese look.

Wonderful product, highly recommend!

Wonderful. It is the only knife my wife will use with the exception of a slightly different one I bought her two years ago.

Great Knife, Great Sharpness out of the box, well balanced and you can’t beat the price.

Good quality knife for the price.

Nice

I took away one star because the blade tang area, ahead of the handle, had a sharp edge I had to file smooth.
The rest of the knife is very nice.

Handmade Forging

With the traditional forging process, the molecules of the iron material are finely tuned, leading to the completion of a "living kitchen knife" that breathes.

Durability

The process of heating and forging each material for mold making is repeated three or four times to quickly shape the blade and create durability before the carbon is released from the steel causing it to lose its original strength.

Sharpness

The blade is the most important factor in achieving the best possible sharpness. It is polished in our own blade factory to produce uncompromising sharpness.

Handle

The highest priority is placed on sturdiness, a sense of luxury, and a shape that is easy to grip and does not cause fatigue even after long hours of use.
