Welcome to our line up, one of the most specialized and respected blades in Japanese culture!
The deba knife is a quintessential tool in Japanese cuisine, specifically designed for preparing fish. Its history traces back to the Edo period, a time when Japan experienced significant urbanization and a growing reliance on seafood as a staple diet.
The need for a specialized knife to efficiently filet and process fish led to the development of the deba. Its characteristically thick spine, sharp point, and single bevel edge were specifically designed to handle the challenges of cutting through fish bones and skin.
We offer our Deba in 3 options. Single Bevel, for your choice of left or right handed use, and a break with tradition, a Hybrid Double Bevel, giving new versatility to this classic design.
Crafted from premium AUS10 steel, this knife delivers exceptional sharpness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. Choose between a Single Bevel for traditional fish butchering or a Hybrid Double Bevel for added versatility. Experience the difference of a meticulously forged blade designed to effortlessly slice through fish, from delicate filets to robust cuts. The ergonomic handle ensures comfort and control, making every task a pleasure. Upgrade your kitchen arsenal with the Forge To Table Deba Knife.
