A deba is a thick, heavy, traditional single-bevel knife used for fish. It makes it possible to slice off the head and separate the flesh from the backbone in one clean, precise stroke. It is also used for chopping, effortlessly, thanks to its weight.
This blade is made from shirogami 2, “No. 2 white steel,” from Hitachi. It will take on a natural patina with use, and care must be taken to always dry it well to prevent rust.
The alloy is a pure composition, finely structured, which results in an extremely keen edge that is easy to sharpen.
The handle is made from magnolia wood with a ferrule of real buffalo horn.
IMPORTANT:
The 90/10 bevelled blade is for right-handed use only.
The blade requires special care to prevent rust.
