Excellent for intermediate-level chefs, it comes ready to use out of the box, accompanied by a Magnolia wood sheath, knife oil, and a rust eraser. This 100% handcrafted knife from Japan is not mass-produced and features an octagonal ebony wood handle, making it a heavy-duty tool perfect for filleting and butchering fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Yoshihiro Hongasumi High Carbon White Steel Deba is designed for carving and filleting fish, as well as some meat. This heavy knife, with its single-edged blade, cuts effortlessly through the flesh of fish. The term \"hongasumi\" indicates a higher-quality kasumi knife, forged by layering softer steel over a hard steel core. The hardness of the White Steel #2 ensures exceptional sharpness and edge retention, while the softer iron provides added durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandcrafted in Japan using traditional techniques, the Yoshihiro Hongasumi White Steel Deba features a completely flat ground front (shinogi) and a concave ground (urasuki) with a flat rim (uraoshi) on the back. Traditional Japanese knife-making emphasizes a sharp edge, which requires attention and care. Sharpening and honing should be done exclusively with water whetstones. Hand wash and dry the knife immediately after use, especially when working with acidic ingredients. This knife is intended for use only on the boneless flesh of fish.\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 62-63\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hongasumi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStain Resistant:\u003c\/strong\u003e No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e White 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 Ebony\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\u003eSaya Cover:\u003c\/strong\u003e Magnolia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Yoshihiro Cutlery","offers":[{"title":"6.5\" (165mm)","offer_id":45231017722086,"sku":"MKHKDE165EHMS","price":399.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"7\" (180mm)","offer_id":45231017754854,"sku":"MKHKDE180EHMS","price":439.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"7.5\" (195mm)","offer_id":45231017787622,"sku":"MKHKDE195EHMS","price":499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8.25\" (210mm)","offer_id":45231017820390,"sku":"MKHKDE210EHMS","price":589.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0505\/4778\/5915\/files\/yoshihiro-masashi-hongasumi-white-steel-deba-fish-fillet-chef-knife-with-ebony-handle-PT01.jpg?v=1753475880","url":"https:\/\/echefknifv.com\/products\/yoshihiro-masashi-hongasumi-white-steel-deba-fish-fillet-chef-knife-with-ebony-handle","provider":"Yoshihiro Cutlery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
