The deba form is traditionally associated with fish preparation, using controlled cuts rather than general chopping. Its compact 150mm blade offers a manageable format for working around smaller fish. This individual knife's workshop, production era and forging method have not been established, so earlier claims about guild lineage and hand-forging are not presented as fact. Carbon steel requires attentive drying and can develop a natural patina with use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare \u0026amp; Maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash only; never use a dishwasher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry immediately after use to help prevent rust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvoid honing rods until the existing edge geometry is confirmed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpen on suitable water stones following the existing bevel, or consult a specialist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore clean and dry with the edge protected\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Chef \u0026 a Knife","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55673978683683,"sku":"VTG-KAJIGEN-DEBA-150-2349","price":100.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/files\/BA653749-4512-40B0-84A4-C412F67B6D38.jpg?v=1791421429","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/vintage-kajigen-deba-knife-150mm-carbon-steel-2349","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
