Shun Pro Sho deba 21 cm – for larger fish

Twenty-one centimeter deba is the size you choose when the fish are over a few kilos: salmon, cod, whole turbot. The weight of the blade does the work, not the strength in the arm. Shun Pro Sho is KAI's series with traditional Japanese blade shapes and single-edged, asymmetrical sharpening. The blade is VG-10 hardened to 61 (±1) HRC, the back is hollow ground (urasuki), and the surface has an etched pattern. The handle is D-shaped pakkawood in Japanese chestnut shape. The knives are ground for right-handed use.

The weight is the function

A deba is thicker and heavier than any other knife in the kitchen, which is why it can go through a backbone without damaging the edge. Place the blade and let the weight work – never chop. For the subsequent work, where the fillet needs to be sliced, switch to a yanagiba.
