Deba: This would be the first knife a sushi chef would reach for at the start of each day. Traditionally the deba is a single bevel knife, designed specifically for fish butchery. It is also quite adept to other butcher jobs as well, try breaking down some chickens with a smaller 150mm deba it will surprise you how awesome it is.
