Handforged in Tosa, Japan by Toru Tamura of Tetsujin Hamono and sharpened by Myojin Riki Seisakusho, this 165mm deba has a shirogami #2 core with iron cladding. A deba is a thick-spined, single-bevel knife designed for breaking down whole fish -- heavy and thick enough to split through bone, precise enough to fillet. Shirogami #2 takes a keen edge and sharpens easily on stones. A specialist knife for cooks who work with whole fish and want a traditional Japanese tool for the job.

Each knife is hand-forged, so no two are exactly alike. The photo shows a randomly selected piece from our stock. If you want to see the exact knife you'll receive, just email us at info@zahocho.com.
Minor variations in surface finish and measurements are normal in hand-forged Japanese knives.
