This little Deba is a single blade knife, specifically designed for slicing and filleting small meat and fish.

The weight, thickness and angle of the blade helps with cutting the meat, and the flat surface (slightly arching) slides against the grain for a flawless and smooth fillet.

Knife handle is made with magnolia wood and finished with a natural lacquer of ‘Urushi’. Urushi is a natural tree sap that forms a transparent coating to protect and beautifully enhance traditional Japanese woodwork. It provides water-resistance and an antibacterial effect to keep your handle safe and durable. This knife is suitable for right-handed users. Left handed deba knife can be ordered, however it will be a custom made order which will take 2-3 months.
