Product Overview

The AK-1103 combines a 7-inch molybdenum vanadium stainless-steel blade with a strengthened black wooden handle. Its broad, substantial deba profile is designed around a different preparation task from a general-purpose chef’s knife.

This Japanese-made deba knife measures 12-1/2 inches overall. A separate plastic collar joins the blade and unriveted handle, coordinating with the other traditional-style Sekimagoroku formats while keeping the long yanagiba and broader deba shapes clearly distinct.

A profile matched to preparation

The deba knife format is used for breaking down and filleting fish. Its broad, substantial deba profile should be selected for that task rather than treated as interchangeable with a gyutou.

7-inch blade

A broad, substantial deba profile.

Strengthened wooden handle

Black wood offers moisture resistance and a shaped grip.

Separate plastic collar

A dark collar forms the transition between blade and handle.

Wooden grip with a separate collar

The black wooden handle has no exposed rivets. A plastic collar marks the blade junction, producing a different construction and appearance from the full-tang, three-rivet AB-series handles.

Coordinate without confusing blade types

The 7-inch blade and 12-1/2-inch overall length define this exact version. Companion knives repeat the dark handle and collar styling but use different blade lengths or shapes; compare the working profile as well as the complete size.
