 Produced by Yamawaki Cutlery, the maker behind the renowned Goh Umanosuke Yoshihiro brand, this knife reflects Sakai’s centuries-old knife-making tradition. Each knife is crafted using techniques passed down through generations and is designed to meet the demanding standards of professional kitchens.
The traditional octagonal magnolia wood handle with black buffalo horn ferrule provides excellent balance and comfort, while the substantial weight of the Deba allows for confident fish preparation.
A 180mm Deba is considered one of the most versatile sizes, suitable for everything from smaller fish such as mackerel and snapper to larger fish including kingfish and salmon.
I highly recommend this knife to chefs looking for a traditional Japanese single-bevel fish knife, as well as home cooks and fishing enthusiasts who want to learn how to break down whole fish properly.
With proper care and regular sharpening, this knife can be enjoyed for many years and will continue to develop character with use.

All JKG knives are personally selected by a chef with over 15 years of professional kitchen experience.
