At 58-60 HRC it is a practical, easy-to-maintain steel that holds a working edge through daily prep and sharpens readily on Japanese water stones. The deba is the Japanese fish butchery knife - a heavy, thick-spined blade designed to break down whole fish, sever heads, and fillet through bones that would damage a thinner knife. At 210mm with a 3mm spine and 300g weight, this is a serious tool for anyone who works with whole fish regularly. The thick spine provides the mass needed to power through bone cleanly.
