Kaneyoshi Deba Knife 16 cm Japanese Kitchen Knife Buffalo Horn Ferrule, Yasuki Steel

Deba knife by Kaneyoshi, made in Japan. The blade is forged from a laminated (san-mai) construction combining Shirogami No. 3 (white paper steel) as the cutting steel and soft iron as the cladding, giving a keen edge that is easy to sharpen and resistant to chipping. The cutting steel is Hitachi Yasuki steel, a material with over a century of history. The handle is made of magnolia (ho) wood, a soft material that fits comfortably in the hand, with a water buffalo horn ferrule that tightens as it absorbs moisture. This size is well suited to scaling fish, opening along the back, and processing bones.
