Handcrafted by the esteemed blacksmith Hideo Kitaoka, the damascus mioroshi deba embodies exceptional craftsmanship. Its core steel is aogami#2, known for its exceptional sharpness, edge retention, and commendable toughness. Aogami#2 is considered one of the most versatile steels available. The blade features an alluring damascus finish and is paired with an octagonal handle crafted from luxurious ebony wood, adding a touch of sophistication and natural elegance. Ebony wood is preferred for its durability, density, and moisture resistance.
What is a mioroshi deba? The mioroshi deba merges the features of the deba and yanagiba. Thinner and with a sharper tip than a similar-sized deba, it excels in filleting and portioning fish. Despite being less ideal for fine slicing due to its thicker, wider blade than a yanagiba, its popularity among professional chefs remains high for its ability to accomplish a variety of tasks when wielded with expertise.
※ Hideo Kitaoka, a third-generation master blacksmith from Echizen, is the current owner of Kitaoka Hamono, founded in 1868. With over 50 years of experience, he specializes in crafting exquisite single-bevel knives using traditional Japanese techniques. His passion for preserving craftsmanship is evident in his exceptional work.
