DETAILS

The ultimate Japanese fish butchering knife. Traditionally used in Japan for the butchery of whole fish, the Shogun Series ?S' Single Bevel 6", 3.5mm thick Deba Knife is designed not only to excel in the preparation of fish, including chopping, gutting and filleting with precision, but also fairs excellently to part out poultry or for use as a vegetable cleaver. The heavier, thicker blade versus western style fillet knives provides for a different experience, one that many chefs prefer. The Shinogi surface of the knife runs along the flat surface of the blade to the edge, allowing for a narrow, razor like profile. This allows for a sharper, more precise knife, perfecting softer and thinner cuts as well as proficiency in tasks such as the removal of scales and ribs of small to medium sized fish. The Urasuki edge of the blade is the gentle concave surface of the backside of the blade, creating a slight air pocket while slicing, ensuring minimal drag and a smoother surface, sailing through fibres of of flesh without tearing or pulling and with minimal effort. Finally, the Uraoshi surface; the thin, flat rim that surrounds the Urasuki, and along with the heft of the blade, serves to optimize performance and enhance the strength of the blade. The Shogun Series 'S' single bevel blade is precision forged from a single piece of ultra premium Japanese high-carbon AUS-10V steel laminated on either side for stain-resistance and durability. Precise cryogenic tempering with liquid nitrogen increases the steel's crystalline structure, enhancing strength, flexibility and hardness.
