About the Deba Knife:

The Deba knife is a traditional Japanese knife that originated in Osaka during the early Edo period.
It is primarily designed for filleting fish, featuring a thick and heavy blade that allows you to firmly cut through fish heads and bones.

The heel of the blade provides the strength to cut through bones, while the sharp edge allows for clean slicing without damaging the flesh.
It is especially ideal for filleting medium to large fish, offering ease of use and a stable cutting experience.

In addition to fish, the Deba knife is also suitable for processing bone-in poultry and cutting hard root vegetables.
With just one knife, it can handle a wide range of tough cutting tasks, making it a versatile tool in the kitchen.

Trusted by professional chefs and home cooks alike, the Deba knife is a reliable and practical choice for anyone who wants to handle whole fish or perform all their prep work with a single, dependable knife.
