An In depth look

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 can steel can be extremely rewarding to use.

Care Information

This knife is made from a high-carbon steel and as such, will require a little more care than a regular off-the-shelf knife. It must be dried shortly after use, as prolonged exposure to moisture can cause rust spots to appear. A very light coat of oil during storage also helps to prevent rust spots. A patina (colouration and seasoning of the steel) will occur with use.
