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\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBrand: Hitohira ひとひら (一片)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSmith: Kikuchiyo 菊千代\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProducing Area: Sakai-Osaka\/ Japan\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProfile: Deba\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSize: 150mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSteel Type: High Carbon Steel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSteel: Blue #2 Carbo steel, Soft iron clad\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHandle: Ebony \u0026amp; Buffalo Horn Ferrule Octagonal\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCome with Saya\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTotal Length: 290mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEdge Length: 152mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHandle to Tip Length: 164mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBlade Height: 48mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThickness: 6.6mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHandle Length: 120mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight: 265g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHand Orientation: Right-Handed\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSharpener: Manzo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hitohira","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":39750212157534,"sku":"AAA-050B2-04-NA150","price":490.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Blonde","offer_id":39750212190302,"sku":"AAA-050B2-04-NA151","price":490.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0766\/4111\/products\/HitohiraKikuchiyoManzoBlue_2Deba150mmEbonyHandle_Saya_Blonde__Right.jpg?v=1675954353"},{"product_id":"aaa-025w2k-53-fb210","title":"Hitohira Togashi White #2 Kurouchi Kiritsuke Gyuto 210mm Tagayasan Handle","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHitohira Togashi knives have some of the best steel treatment, aesthetics, and fit and finish from Hitohira.
