The Deba knife is the heavy, thick Japanese knife used mainly for cutting and filleting whole fish. Its weight helps the blade to penetrate the head and thicker bones more easily, while with its thin tip it is easier to fillet the fish flesh from the bones. It can also be used for meat or poultry, but is not recommended for cutting large bones.

Shirogami, a historic steel Tojiro is proud of its Japanese craftsmanship in the field of knives. The excitement of pursuing maximum sharpness, created "Tamahagane" which is an extremely pure iron that no one had ever seen. "Tamahagane" is also called "Yasuki-Hagane", and is great for creating knives nowadays and also plays a very important role in the evolution of Japanese style knives. Tojiro used the "Shirogami" steel core, which is considered to be synonymous with the "Yasuki-Hagane", as one of the toughest steels in the world, and then its craftsmen forged it with layers of iron. Tojiro craftsmen are aware of the temperature to achieve maximum hardness but also the best sharpening angle for optimal sharpness in terms of Shirogami steel & highly recommend it.

If you want to cut food into very thin slices or create pieces with very precise symmetry, and even with quick movements without leaving any food left on the knife, then you will love the single cut of this knife. The above tasks are very common in Japanese cuisine, so traditional Japanese knives are sharpened only on one side. The Shirogami is sharpened by experienced Japanese craftsmen on only one side at 15 ° to get a really sharp blade.

Comfortable magnolia wood handle The first part of the knife you encounter is the handle. The handle of this Tojiro knife pays homage to the tradition of Japanese cuisine, crafted from durable magnolia wood that withstands continuous and demanding use while maintaining contact with food and kitchen materials. Its round shape ensures comfort and practicality from any angle, providing excellent ergonomics and complete control during use.

It is recommended avoiding a dishwasher on any good knife. Hand washing in warm water and quick wiping is enough for any stainless knife. Whatever knife you use, it will eventually need to get sharpened to remain in high performance. Hard steel knives (high Rockwell) such as the Japanese and especially if they are sharpened on one side, it is recommended to sharpen exclusively with stone to achieve the best possible sharpening while protecting the blade of the knife to continue to have the highest possible performance.
