Specifications

The Hideo Kitaoka damascus aogami#2 mioroshi deba 210mm is a handcrafted Japanese knife forged in Echizen by third-generation master blacksmith Hideo Kitaoka. This single-bevel knife features a Hitachi Aogami #2 carbon steel core with iron-clad damascus construction in nimai style. The blade measures 212mm with 46.1mm height. The mioroshi deba merges features of the deba and yanagiba, designed for filleting and portioning fish. Thinner and with a sharper tip than a standard deba, it excels at filleting while handling a variety of tasks with expertise. The iron cladding will develop a natural patina over time with use.

About the blacksmith: Hideo Kitaoka is a third-generation master blacksmith from Echizen and current owner of Kitaoka Hamono, founded in 1868. With over 50 years of experience, he specializes in crafting single-bevel knives using traditional Japanese techniques.

FAQ

Why is the blade length different from the displayed size? The size in the product title is a nominal reference used by knife makers. The actual blade can be slightly longer or shorter due to handcrafting and traditional sizing. Each product page lists the exact measured length.

When will out-of-stock items be restocked? We carry limited, rotating stock. Once something sells out, we don't necessarily reorder it right away. It could be months before that item comes back, if at all. We bring in new knives regularly, but they're not always the same ones. Our newsletter is the best way to stay updated on new arrivals.

What payment methods do you accept? Visa, Mastercard, Amex, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Shop Pay. No cash on delivery.
