The knives in the Richmond Sakai line are made in the traditional method employed in Sakai City, using a small, specialized blacksmith shop and an equally specialized knife sharpener to finish the blades. They are then sent off to a handle maker and engraver to finish the knives according to our exacting specifications. The engraving is in Kanji and done by hand. It says "Mark" on the front of each blade.
This knife is single-beveled and is meant for a right-handed user. It has a convex front side and a concave back side. Deba knives are used primarily by professional cooks in Japan. The blade is constructed from a core of Hitachi White #2 steel with an iron cladding. It is reactive, so you must keep it clean and completely dry between uses.
This is a heavy and stout knife. It has a very thick blade measuring 8 mm at the heel. The front face is given a primary bevel that extends almost all the way to the edge, where a small micro bevel is applied. The backside has a very slight concave face that ends in a flat grind all around the sides. This aids in food release but does restrict the knife to right-handed users.
The handle is made of ho wood in an oval shape and has a buffalo horn ferrule.Weight: 12.1 oz (342 g)
