A 165mm KS Honkasumi 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 Deba, a traditional Japanese knife, stands as a crucial tool for precise fish cutting and filleting. Its big bevel ensures clean cuts, allowing you to "ride" against the fish bones. The tough heel section is well-equipped to cut or chop through even thick fish bones.
