This is the first knife a sushi chef would use when preparing fish. It is used to fillet fish and butcher boneless meat. The Deba is a traditional Japanese blade that is only sharpened on one side. This is called “single bevel.” Don’t let the shape and weight of a Deba fool you; they are nimble and precise. Choose the length of your Deba based on the size of fish you’ll be butchering most often.\n","brand":"Kurotori","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46474194813102,"sku":"KRT-150DE","price":440.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/9439\/files\/kurotori-tanzo-ginsan-deba-150mm.jpg?v=1748985551"},{"product_id":"kurotori-tanzo-ginsan-sujihiki-240mm","title":"Kurotori Tanzo Ginsan Sujihiki 240mm","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Kurotori Tanzo— \u003c\/strong\u003eThe 6th-generation blacksmith Hiroshi Kajiwara-san is the main force behind this Kurotori Tanzo in Shimanto city in Kochi prefecture.

It's perfect for carving and slicing roasts, turkey, raw meats, fish, and all other proteins. The extended blade length allows you to slice with one long stroke instead of sliding the knife back and forth in a sawing motion, and the reduced surface area prevents the blade from sticking to the meat. Clean slices of brisket or ultra thin applications like Carpaccio will become a breeze to execute.\n","brand":"Kurotori","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46474201137326,"sku":"KRT-240SU","price":585.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/9439\/files\/kurotori-tanzo-ginsan-sujihiki-240mm.jpg?v=1748985497"},{"product_id":"kurotori-tanzo-ginsan-maguro-bocho","title":"Kurotori Tanzo Ginsan Maguro Bocho","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Kurotori Tanzo— \u003c\/strong\u003eThe 6th-generation blacksmith Hiroshi Kajiwara-san is the main force behind this Kurotori Tanzo in Shimanto city in Kochi prefecture.
