The brand name \"Ichiji\" comes from the nickname of founder Baba Kuniharu. Continuing a 600-year regional legacy that evolved from crafting samurai swords and tobacco blades, these blades are shaped by master artisans using time-honored forging and sharpening techniques. The deba is the traditional Japanese fish knife: a thick, single-bevel blade designed to break down whole fish, cut through bone, and fillet with precision. This is a specialist tool built to last generations - and this example has never been used.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare \u0026amp; Maintenance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash individually - never dishwasher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry immediately after use to prevent rust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHone on the flat (ura) side only - single-bevel geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpen on a Japanese water stone (1000\/3000 grit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore in original box or on a magnetic rack - never loose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Chef \u0026 a Knife","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55496369078563,"sku":"VTG-SAKAI-ICHIJI-DEBA-2241","price":110.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/files\/3A2201A6-0CD8-4499-9765-09E67655EB10.jpg?v=1787470276","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/vintage-sakai-ichiji-deba-knife","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
