This 170mm Deba stands out from the crowd with its rare double bevel (50/50) grind, offering traditional Deba power with the versatility of a balanced edge — making it suitable for both right- and left-handed users.
Designed for breaking down fish, poultry, and heavier prep work, this Deba has a robust spine and thick heel, giving it the strength you'd expect, while the 50/50 grind allows for easier maintenance and more intuitive handling for users familiar with Western knives.
The blade features a bold kurouchi finish, preserving the blacksmith's forge scale for a rugged, traditional aesthetic that will develop even more character over time.
Fitted with a lightweight wa-style handle and black resin ferrule, it feels sturdy yet nimble, offering excellent balance and control.
