This is a handcrafted double bevel knife made of Aogami No.2 steel and soft iron. It was crafted with traditional "Hon-Warikomi" technique at the Nakamura Hamono smithy in Oita Prefecture. 

Deba knives are traditionally used for filleting fish, which is why they have a thick, heavy blade designed to cut through bones and joints. This makes it also suitable for cutting poultry and other meats with small bones.

The pack includes a small whetstone you can use to keep your blade clean and sharp.

*Since each knife is crafted by hand, weight and dimensions might slightly vary for each knife. We ask for your kind understanding.

*Depending on the number of orders and the smithy's situation, shipping the knife out might take up to 3 weeks.

 *The knife is made from steel, so there will be a certain amount of rusting over time. Use the included sharpening stone to get rid of the rust. Find an explanation video on knife sharpening on the bottom of this page.

* Depending on the value of your order and local import rules of your country, there might be additional import taxes you have to pay upon arrival of the package.
