A 165mm KS honkasumi ai-deba from Masamoto Sohonten. The KS series, a popular choice among collectors and culinary professionals alike, features a high-grade shirogami#2/white#2 core steel and a higher level of refinement compared to the KK series. Heat-treated to 62-63 HRC, this steel excels in attaining remarkable hardness without excessive brittleness. The blade seamlessly integrates with a classic d-shaped magnolia handle adorned by a black horn ferrule.
The ai-deba, slightly thinner and lighter in comparison to the hon-deba, proves exceptional for filleting medium-sized fish. Its lightweight nature positions the ai-deba as a preferred choice due to its enhanced maneuverability. When compared to the 165mm KS deba, it emerges as approximately 25% lighter and 20% thinner along the spine.
