The Tojiro Shirogami traditional series of knives is tailor-made for every true sushi master. Knives are forged and sharpened by hand using the same methods that have shaped Japanese blade-making culture for centuries.
Deba is a knife intended for filleting and processing fish. These knives are characterized by a greater thickness of the blade, which is ground on one side, which ensures durability, so in addition to filleting, we can also use them for cutting bones in fish as well as in smaller specimens of poultry. The blade length of 165mm is considered ideal for the Deba knife and is suitable for almost all types of fish that are prepared in our area.
The steel used to make this knife is Shirogami 1, i.e. white steel. This is by far the most popular choice for traditional knives as it is this steel that can achieve the perfect level of sharpness due to its similarity to the famous Tamahagane steel. It is made using the technique of lamination of harder and softer parts and is ground on one side, which is unique for real traditional Japanese knives. This is precisely why it is suitable exclusively for right-handed users.
The handle has a traditional shape made of magnolia wood with a part of modeled resin. They are designed to provide a pleasant feeling in the hand of right-handed users, while the natural texture of the wood prevents slipping due to dirty hands of the sushi master.
