This knife is perfect for intermediate-level chefs and is ready to use right out of the box. It includes a Magnolia wood sheath, knife oil, and a rust eraser to maintain the blade's performance and appearance. Handcrafted with precision in Japan, it's not mass-produced, ensuring a unique, high-quality blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned specifically for carving and filleting fish, the Yoshihiro Hongasumi Blue Steel Deba Filet Knife also excels at cutting through some meats. The heavy, single-edged blade effortlessly slices through fish flesh and meat. The Hongasumi forging technique—layering softer steel over a hard steel core—provides superior sharpness, edge retention, and durability. The Blue Steel #2 core delivers a razor-sharp edge, while the softer surrounding iron adds resilience to the blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrafted using traditional techniques, the Yoshihiro Hongasumi Blue Steel Deba Knife features a completely flat ground front (shinogi) and a concave ground (urasuki) with a flat rim (uraoshi) on the back. The octagonal handle, made of Shitan Rosewood, complements the blade perfectly, offering comfort and control during use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with all traditional Japanese knives, sharpening and honing should be done using high-quality Japanese water stones. Hand wash and dry immediately after use, particularly when working with acidic ingredients, to preserve the blade. This knife is specifically designed for boneless fish flesh and is not recommended for cutting through bones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content\" id=\"specs\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKnife Specs:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHRC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 63-64\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hongasumi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue Steel #2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdge Angle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Edged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBolster Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Octagonal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStain Resistant:\u003c\/strong\u003e No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSaya Cover:\u003c\/strong\u003e Magnolia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Yoshihiro Cutlery","offers":[{"title":"6\" (150mm)","offer_id":37098989453499,"sku":"HKDE150SH","price":349.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6.5\" (165mm)","offer_id":37098989420731,"sku":"HKDE165SH","price":389.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"7\" (180mm)","offer_id":37098989387963,"sku":"HKDE180SH","price":429.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"7.5\" (195mm)","offer_id":37098989519035,"sku":"HKDE195SH","price":469.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8.25\" (210mm)","offer_id":37098989486267,"sku":"HKDE210SH","price":539.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0505\/4778\/5915\/products\/yoshihiro-hongasumi-blue-steel-deba-fish-fillet-chef-knife-shitan-handle.jpg?v=1753477826","url":"https:\/\/echefknifv.com\/products\/yoshihiro-hongasumi-blue-steel-deba-fish-fillet-chef-knife-shitan-handle","provider":"Yoshihiro Cutlery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
