Kaiden JS Deba 165mm Fish filleting knife 165 blade length forged from White 2 carbon steel. The Deba is a heavier style single bevel knife designed for portioning and filleting fish and cutting through fish bones. Compared to the western filleting knife the Deba will cut far cleaner and give you best yield from your produce. Handle is a traditional oval shaped magnolia wood with black buffalo horn bolster. Kaiden JS Series This Japanese knife is crafted in Sakai with excellent forging. While not as many steps have been taken to complete this knife as the even more refined Kaiden W2 Honkasumi series, the JS series represents excellent value for money for this level of knife. Kaiden JS knives are crafted with care, forged slowly and sharpened by experienced Sakai craftsmen. Unlike many cheaper kataba knives including those found in the tourist districts in Japan, the JS series stands apart with superior finish and sharpness. An easy choice for new or regular users of single edged knives. Please note: This is a single bevel knife (one sided edge) for right handed users only. Only sharpen on sharpening stones. This knife should NEVER be sharpened on a honing steel. This is a carbon steel knife. Keep dry and use camellia oil to prevent rust.
