Origin, Steel & Maker

This deba is produced by Mago Roku in Seki City, Japan — one of the most historically important cutlery regions in the country. The Ginju ST line is Mago Roku’s upgraded stainless series, offering improved fit, finish, and grind quality over entry-level Seki production knives.

The stainless steel construction makes this an approachable and practical deba, especially for cooks who want the benefits of a traditional single-bevel knife without the extra maintenance of carbon steel.

Craftsmanship & Use

As a true single-bevel deba, this knife is purpose-built for fish work:

breaking down whole fish

removing heads and collars

splitting spines

clean, controlled filleting

At 171g, it has enough mass to feel authoritative without becoming fatiguing. The wide bevel provides excellent stability and precise steering through fish, while the right-handed grind ensures proper tracking and clean cuts.

The wa-handle keeps the balance close to the heel, giving the knife a grounded, confident feel — exactly what you want in a deba.

Summary

A traditional 150mm right-handed deba from Mago Roku’s Ginju ST line, made in Seki, Japan. Stainless, durable, and well-balanced, this knife is an excellent entry point into Japanese single-bevel fish knives for home cooks and professionals alike.
