KAI Wasabi Black Deba Fish Knife 21 cm

The KAI Wasabi Black Deba 21 cm is a Japanese-style kitchen knife for preparing fish. Its shape is intended for heavy tasks, such as removing heads and skin, before switching to precise filleting. The slightly curved cutting edge helps the blade follow natural contours, allowing for close work against bones. Unlike a general-purpose blade, this knife is designed to process seafood without damaging the meat. Its weight distribution provides control when breaking down whole fish.

The knife is manufactured in Japan, using traditional blade designs. It features a D-shaped handle that provides a secure grip during wet work. This handle is shaped for stability in the kitchen. As the tool is not dishwasher-safe, it must be washed and dried by hand to maintain its condition. The handle’s matte black finish contrasts with the polished steel of the blade, resulting in a simple, functional appearance.

• Blade length: 210 mm — provides the size and leverage needed for larger fish.
• Material: 1K6 high-carbon stainless steel — ensures a sharp, corrosion-resistant edge.
• Edge angle: 10–15 degrees — sharpened to a fine profile for filleting and detailed work.
• Handle material: Bamboo powder and polypropylene — creates a moisture-resistant, stable grip.
• Blade finish: Polished stainless steel — provides a smooth surface to reduce friction during slicing.
