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.

About the Yanagiba Knife:

The Yanagiba knife is a traditional Japanese sashimi knife that developed during the Edo period.
It features a long, single-edged blade designed primarily for slicing sashimi and other delicate thin cuts.

The blade is thin and sharp all the way to the tip, allowing for smooth cuts without damaging the delicate fish flesh.
It is especially ideal for making thin slices of sashimi and preparing sushi toppings, and is widely used by professional chefs and home fish enthusiasts alike.

Thanks to its long blade length, it enables a single, clean slicing motion to create beautiful cut surfaces, preserving the natural flavor and texture of the ingredient.

Besides fish, the Yanagiba is also suitable for slicing meat and vegetables thinly, making it an indispensable knife in Japanese cuisine known for its precise and elegant cutting performance.
