Benefits

A broad single-bevel deba blade for fish: The blade is 240 mm long in the deba shape, broad and single-bevel. It is built to fillet and break down whole fish, and the thick spine carries the force through the cut.

A single-bevel edge ground on one face: The blade is ground on one side only, the traditional Japanese form for fish work. It slices cleanly along the bone and follows the line of the fillet. These details tell you exactly what you are getting before you order.

A wooden sheath shown in the photos with the knife: The photos show a wooden sheath beside the knife, which covers the edge when the knife is stored. We ship it directly from Japan, packed carefully to protect the blade. These details tell you exactly what you are getting before you order.
