Sakai Takayuki Kasumitogi Deba 165mm
$110 / ¥16,000

The Sakai Takayuki Deba is the fish butchering workhorse. Its thick, heavy single-bevel blade is designed to break down whole fish — from head removal to filleting. The Shirogami #2 steel is tough enough to handle fish bones while taking a keen edge. No Japanese professional kitchen is complete without a proper deba.
