Deba is a sturdy fish knife with a solid and thick blade. The blade doesn't bend even if force is applied. It is often used to remove large fish scales, handle the bones, open the back of the fish, and cut the bones. The blade's thickness and weight can help to cut off fish heads without damaging the blade, as well as the small bones of chicken.

Shirogami No.2 has minimal impurities and a very fine grain structure, so it is ideal for fine cutting tools such as Japanese traditional-style knives. Despite being a ‘simple’ carbon steel, Shirogami No.2 has very good edge retention and it is also very easy to re-sharpen. Recommended for first-time users of Japanese traditional-style knives.

Traditional Kasumi polished finish. Kasumi roughly translated to “mist” or “cloud” and refers to the hazy appearance of the soft steel/iron cladding, in contrast to the fine polished cutting edge. This elegant finish is very common on traditional style Japanese blades.
