This deba is crafted using the traditional Sakai method, where specialized artisans handle each stage of production - from forging and sharpening to handle installation and hand engraving. Every blade features hand-chiseled kanji reading Mark, a personal touch that comes from this knife being custom commissioned for CKTG.
This is a single bevel knife designed for right-handed users, with a convex front side and a concave back to enhance cutting performance and food release. Made from Hitachi White #2 carbon steel with iron cladding, it takes an extremely sharp edge and is favored by professionals for fish butchery and precise prep work. The blade is thick and heavy, with an 8mm spine at the heel for strength and durability when working through fish and small bones. The primary bevel extends close to the edge, finished with a small micro bevel for durability, while the concave backside aids in smooth separation. The magnolia wood oval handle with buffalo horn ferrule provides a traditional feel and secure grip.
Care Instructions: Hand wash and dry immediately after use. This knife is fully reactive and will rust if left wet. Avoid twisting or prying motions and use proper technique when working through fish and small bones. Sharpen on water stones using the appropriate single bevel technique.
