Product Overview

The SR165-D combines a broad deba blade with a pale wooden handle and black plastic bolster. The high blade heel and pointed front give it a more substantial-looking profile than the slender sashimi knives in the same preparation area.

This model is listed at 11½ inches overall with a 6¼-inch blade. Its straight wooden grip and dark bolster match the larger SR180-D, providing two deba sizes with a coordinated handle style.

A pale wooden handle meets the blade through a dark plastic bolster. The grip has a plain rounded outline rather than the exposed rivets of a Western-style cooking knife.

At 11½ inches overall with a 6¼-inch blade, the SR165-D is the shorter option beside the SR180-D. Compare both measurements rather than overall length alone.
