Choose the 165 mm model for a shorter working span, or the 180 mm model for a longer deba blade. Match the size to the fish you prepare and the room on your board.

The single-layer blade uses molybdenum-vanadium stainless cutlery steel. Kai finishes the edge with a wet sharpening process, using a fine abrasive while limiting heat at the edge.

The laminated reinforced-wood handle has eight flat faces and a dark finish. Its nylon collar meets the blade at the front of the grip. The handle needs prompt drying after cleaning, just as the blade does.

Care for a single-bevel knife

Hand wash after use, rinse and dry the blade and handle promptly. Avoid soaking the wooden handle or leaving food and moisture on the steel. Store with the edge protected; sharpen with a method suitable for a single-bevel knife.

This is a specialist right-handed knife. Keep its single-bevel shape in mind when selecting sharpening equipment, and use a protected storage position that keeps the cutting edge away from other utensils.
