Its structural hardness allows a terrifyingly sharp, laser-thin edge with exceptional retention. The Deba's thick spine and heavy weight distribution handle the demanding work of whole-fish breakdown and poultry jointing, while the hollow-ground Urasuki back creates an air pocket between steel and ingredient, eliminating food friction and tearing for pristine, restaurant-quality cuts. The lightweight magnolia handle absorbs moisture during busy service and provides tip-forward balance natural to single-bevel work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare \u0026amp; Maintenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash only - 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 Japanese water stones (1000\/3000 grit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore on a magnetic rack or in a knife roll - never loose in a drawer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Chef \u0026 a Knife","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55579006009635,"sku":"2284","price":120.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/files\/85D95FBA-C3D2-4BAC-A3AA-F692095C3BD6.jpg?v=1789358692","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/vintage-shiromaru-deba-knife-195mm-traditional-yasugi-steel-magnoloia-handle-2284","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
