This is the first knife a sushi chef would use when preparing fish, as it is used to fillet whole fish and butcher the boneless meat. The Deba is a traditional Japanese blade that is only sharpened on one side, which is called “single bevel”, and allows it to cut more precisely than other blades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDon’t let the shape and weight of a Deba fool you; they are nimble and precise when wielded properly. This deba is great for small fish like pike, and larger game birds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout Sakai Kikumori - \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSakai Kikumori is a wholesaler in Sakai, sort of like Sakai Takayuki and Konosuke.

It’s super easy to sharpen, takes a brilliantly sharp edge, cuts like silk and is very rugged for its hardness. The hard white carbon steel is forge-welded to a piece of softer carbon steel.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sakai Kikumori","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39451954905262,"sku":"SKKTM120DE","price":249.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/9439\/products\/Tomoshibi-Deba-120-1.jpg?v=1620345437","url":"https:\/\/knifewear.mom\/products\/sakai-kikumori-tomoshibi-deba-120mm","provider":"Knifewear - Handcrafted Japanese Kitchen Knives","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
