    Care Instruction
    1. Don't cut hard things! Japanese knives are brittle so bone hacking is a NO NO!
    2. Wash with neutral detergent after use, and wipe dry;
    3. Please don't wash knife with dishwasher, it will damage the wood handle;
    4. Be careful not to leave the knife close to a heat source for a long time;
    5. It is a lot more dangerous to cut with a blunt knife than a sharp knife!
    6. It is best to sharpen a Japanese knife regularly on a waterstone.
    7. Oil the (carbon) knife if storing for an extended period of time to prevent rust.

    • Profile: Deba

      A deba knife is a traditional Japanese kitchen knife specifically designed for butchering fish, though it can also be used for poultry and other meats with smaller bones. Here are some key characteristics and features of a deba knife:

      Blade Material: Deba knives are available in various materials, including traditional carbon steels such as shirogami (white steel) and blue steel, as well as stainless steel variants like molybdenum stainless steel. Carbon steel is preferred for its excellent sharpness and edge retention, while stainless steel variants are less prone to rust.

      Blade Design: Deba knives typically have a single bevel blade, meaning they are sharpened completely on one side. This design is intended for right-handed use, though left-handed versions are available by special order.

      Blade Geometry: The blade of a deba knife is heavy and thick-spined, with a blade length ranging from 5 to 7 inches. This design, along with the weight of the knife, allows it to easily cut through fish bones and joints.

      Primary Purpose: The primary purpose of a deba knife is to break apart full fish, removing heads, fins, and bones, and filleting them. It is also suitable for butchering poultry and other meats with smaller bones.

      Technique Tips: When using a deba knife, it's recommended to allow the weight of the blade to do the work. A sturdy grip is essential, with the middle, ring, and pinkie fingers wrapped firmly around the handle. The pointer finger should be placed on the spine of the knife, while the thumb is positioned close to the heel edge of the blade to steady the strokes. When cutting through bones, downward pressure should be applied with the non-dominant hand to push the knife cleanly through.
