Blade Type

The Deba knife, deeply rooted in Japanese culinary tradition, is a robust, single-bevel knife (sometimes double) primarily designed for fileting fish. Its thick, heavy blade effortlessly glides through fish bones and joints, while preserving delicate flesh. Ideal for seafood preparation, the Deba is a staple in Japanese kitchens for its precision and strength.

Steel Type

Japanese White Steel #2, a traditional high-carbon steel, is cherished for its purity and fine grain structure, enabling razor-sharp edges, at the cost of being reactive. It is one of the easiest steels to sharpen, but cannot be left wet for even short periods otherwise rust spots can occur. If you’re fastidious in your knife maintenance, this knife steel can be extremely rewarding to use.

Care Information

It has high chromium content, meaning it is generally considered safe to leave wet on the board for short periods of time. is still best practice to not leave this knife to air dry as it's stain-less not stain-none! Wipe down after washing the knife and store away from any sources of moisture.
