Benefits

A small deba of 105 mm for fish: IMG-001 shows the blade up close. The maker lists this deba for breaking down whole fish, and at 105 mm it is easy to control, so small fish from the market are easy work for a home cook.

A carbon steel blade clad in soft iron: The blade is a carbon steel composite with soft iron cladding. It is a traditional build, and carbon steel can rust, so wipe the blade dry at once after every use, and store the knife guarded.

A solid weight of about 137 g: The knife weighs about 137 g and measures 222 x 46 x 18 mm, so the heft of the small blade does the work. Let the weight fall through the cut, and keep your fingers well clear of the edge.

A care rule for the edge: Dishwasher use may limit use, so wash the knife by hand, dry it at once, and store it guarded. The edge is sharp, so keep the knife out of reach of infants and cut on a board.

A handle made of natural wood: The wood handle sits behind a bolster of horn. Keep the handle dry, and wipe it with a cloth after use, so the wood stays smooth, and the knife stays in good shape.

Made in Japan per the maker: The maker's page gives Japan as the place of production. The knife is the Seki Magoroku Kinju Honko deba, and we ship it directly from Japan to your door, with tracking on the parcel.
