Sakai Genkichi White steel 2 Deba Knife 165 (6.5) Magnolia Wood handle with buffalo horn

Deba knife (originally named Deba-hocho or Deba-bocho)is a traditional Japanese specialized kitchen knife for cutting fish (Fish dismantling). Generally, the most popular Deba knife size is about 15cm to 20cm. 180mm size Deba is our recommendation for home cooks. Remember that Deba knives have to be a proper size that does fit the fish size you are going to cut; otherwise, it will be rather challenging to use.

This outstanding Deba knife was made by the Sakai Genkichi company from Sakai city in Osaka Prefecture in Japan. 165mm long single edged blade are hand-forged in the Japanese traditional smithing technique called "Tsukehagane" (hammer welding) that welds low-carbon steel and high-carbon steel (White steel 2). Kasumi finish.The perfect traditional blade shape and White steel 2 guarantee excellent cutting ability and sharpness but low rust resistance. Japanese traditional knife handles are made from Magnolia Wood with a natural buffalo horn ferrule. To prevent blade corrosion, please wipe the blade to dry after every use. Genkichi 165mm Deba knife is a perfect choice for professional "Fish" cooking and is highly recommended to professionals. Knife packed in premium Japanese authentic gift box with traditional patterns.

After use, wash it with a soft sponge, wipe the knife dry and store safely. Avoid cutting the bones, frozen foods, hard fruit pits.

Recommended cutting surface: wood, rubberized boards, and high-end composites, as well as quality plastics such as polyethylene, make acceptable cutting surfaces and will help protect and extend the life of the knife's edge. AVOID using glass, metal, countertops, and other rigid, unyielding surfaces.

We think that sharpening all quality Japanese knives on whetstones produces the finest results for your blades.
