This makes it an excellent choice for intermediate-level chefs. It comes ready to use out of the box and includes a Magnolia wood sheath, knife oil, and a rust eraser for ongoing maintenance. Handcrafted in Japan, this knife is a unique, high-quality piece—not mass-produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for carving and filleting fish, as well as some meats, the Yoshihiro Hongasumi Blue Steel Deba Knife features a heavy, single-edged blade that easily cuts through fish flesh and meat. The Hongasumi technique, which layers softer steel over a hard steel core, results in a higher-quality kasumi knife. The Blue Steel #2 core offers exceptional sharpness and edge retention, while the surrounding iron adds the durability needed for regular use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrafted using traditional Japanese techniques, the Yoshihiro Hongasumi Blue Steel Deba Knife features a flat ground front (shinogi) and a concave ground back (urasuki) with a flat rim (uraoshi). This traditional construction enhances sharpness and cutting performance. The octagonal handle is made from magnolia wood and water buffalo horn, providing comfort and control during use. The blade also showcases the mist-like pattern characteristic of the forging process, adding beauty to the knife's functional design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor proper care, sharpening and honing should be done with Japanese water stones. Hand wash and dry immediately after use, especially when working with acidic ingredients, to maintain the blade. This knife is intended for use on boneless fish flesh and should not be used on bones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"specs\" class=\"tab-content\"\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 Magnolia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBolster Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water Buffalo Horn (color varies)\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":37098989256891,"sku":"HKDE150MH","price":329.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"6.5\" (165mm)","offer_id":37098989224123,"sku":"HKDE165MH","price":359.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"7\" (180mm)","offer_id":37098989355195,"sku":"HKDE180MH","price":399.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"7.5\" (195mm)","offer_id":37098989322427,"sku":"HKDE195MH","price":449.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"8.25\" (210mm)","offer_id":37098989289659,"sku":"HKDE210MH","price":499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0505\/4778\/5915\/products\/yoshihiro-hongasumi-blue-steel-deba-fish-fillet-chef-knife-main.jpg?v=1753477828","url":"https:\/\/echefknifv.com\/products\/yoshihiro-hongasumi-blue-steel-deba-fish-fillet-chef-knife","provider":"Yoshihiro Cutlery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
