In particular, he is known for his Blue #1 steel, which has the high hardness point without the accompanying difficulty in sharpening, according to professional sharpeners working with his blades in Sakai. Tosho fans may already know of Tanaka-san’s work from Konosuke’s coveted Fujiyama series. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDespite Tanaka-san’s advanced age and propensity to work with iron cladded knives, he still challenges himself by experimenting with new materials.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA Deba is a traditional Japanese fish filleting\/butchery knife that is single-sided\/bevelled. Despite its Santoku-like profile, it does not perform well on dense produce; however, it excels in deboning various fish, thanks to its weight and bevel shape. The technique of using a deba is quite different from using a flexible filleting knife (Western style fish deboning), but in practiced hands, both styles can yield very good results. We recommend a deba for any cook looking to get better at filleting fish and sharpening a single bevel knife in Japanese fashion.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrand: Hitohira \u003cbr\u003eSmith: Tanaka Blacksmith \u003cbr\u003eSharpener: Manzo \u003cbr\u003eProducing Area: Sakai-Osaka\/ Japan \u003cbr\u003eProfile: Deba \u003cbr\u003eSize: 165mm \u003cbr\u003eSteel Type: Carbon Steel \u003cbr\u003eSteel: Yasuki White (Shirogami) #2, Soft Iron Clad \u003cbr\u003eHandle: Ho Wood \u0026amp; Buffalo Horn Ferrule Octagonal \u003cbr\u003eCome with Saya \u003cbr\u003eTotal Length: 315mm \u003cbr\u003eEdge Length: 172mm \u003cbr\u003eHandle to Tip Length: 190mm \u003cbr\u003eBlade Height: 50mm \u003cbr\u003eThickness: 6.5mm \u003cbr\u003eHandle Length: 129mm \u003cbr\u003eWeight: 266g \u003cbr\u003eHand Orientation: Right-Handed \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hitohira","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42823126122590,"sku":"AAA-115W2-05-NA165","price":585.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0766\/4111\/files\/ManDeba1.jpg?v=1780952852","url":"https:\/\/toshoknifearts.com\/en-au\/products\/aaa-115w2-05-na165","provider":"Tosho Knife Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
