Shimomura - Deba Knife, Stainless Steel 150mm

The TU-6005 is a Japanese-made Shimomura deba with a 6-inch vanadium stainless-steel blade and strengthened black wooden handle. Its broad blade and single-bevel construction distinguish it from the long, narrow yanagi format.

The complete knife measures 10-7/8 inches. A half tang extends into the riveted wooden grip, combining a compact deba outline with moisture-resistant handle material. The companion TU-6006 repeats this handle treatment with a longer slicing blade.

The dark wooden grip has two visible rivets and a squared end. Its half-tang construction and moisture-resistant wood coordinate with the TU-6006 yanagi without changing the distinct preparation role of each blade.
