KAI Deba Knife 10 cm Wasabi 6710D

The polished blades of the Wasabi Black Series are made of newly developed corrosion-resistant 6A/1K6 steel with a hardness value of 58 (±1) HRC. The extensive range offers both double bevel blade shapes, as well as traditional Japanese single bevel blade shapes. The slightly arched back of the blade allows a secure grip during work, making it easier to make fine rocking movements, for example.

The matt black plastic grip is water resistant and thus particularly robust. Its oval or chestnut shape depends on the blade size and exhibits a pleasant, natural feel thanks to the addition of bamboo powder. The handle and stainless steel blade are permanently moulded together, ruling out the accumulation of dirt.

The Deba knife is a heavy, thick Japanese knife used primarily to cut and staple whole fish. Its weight helps the blade to penetrate the head and thick bones more easily, while its slender tip makes it easier to fill the flesh with the bones. It can also be used for meat or poultry, but it is not recommended for cutting large bones.
