- Features:
A deba bocho (Japanese kitchen knife) forged by one of the top knife makers in Tosa using blue paper No. 1 steel for the blade. The meticulous forging process creates a dense structure in the steel and careful heat treatment brings out the best characteristics of the blue paper No. 1 steel. The double-edged blade is not only great for splitting fish heads but also useful for poultry preparation and cutting partially frozen food. It has an easy-to-sharpen edge and is recommended by our store as a versatile deba knife.
- Sharpness:
Since this knife is made of steel it is coated with a rust-preventing lacquer. Therefore the initial sharpness may not be at its best out of the box. The lacquer will wear off with use and sharpening will restore the knife to its original sharpness. The blade edge is designed to be versatile allowing you to sharpen it according to your preference.
- Note:
Each knife is hand-forged and hand-sharpened in the manufacturing process. As a result there may be scratches or imperfections such as oxidation on the blade. Therefore minor scratches or oxidation issues are not considered defects. Due to the nature of hand-forged products there may be variations in size and slight warping or bending in the blade. This knife is not dishwasher or dryer safe and may rust if not properly cared for. The black hammered finish helps to prevent rust but it is recommended to wipe off moisture regularly during use.
