The Deba is a traditional Japanese knife built for strength and precision, especially when working with fish and poultry. Its thick, sturdy blade allows for cleanly cutting through bones and heads while still delivering delicate, precise fillets. Heavier than typical chef knives but expertly balanced, the Deba gives you control and power in one tool, making it a favorite among sushi chefs and anyone who wants a reliable knife for handling tougher tasks without sacrificing finesse.
