This Deba is a single blade knife, specifically designed for cutting and filleting meat and fish. Perfect for large pieces of meat and fish. 

It is not suitable for cutting vegetable, as it is a single blade knife. 

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.
