Deba is a Japanese-style knife used mainly for cutting fish but also meat. They come in many sizes, from 120 to 300mm. The cutting edge is very durable, so as to cope with cutting off the head of a fish or cutting through small bones. The deba knife is sharpened on one side, it can easily cope with filleting or portioning.
Knives from this line are made of a derivative of VG-10, a molybdenum-vanadium, high-carbon, stainless steel called MBS-26, which has undergone a three-stage hardening process until reaching a hardness of 58-59 HRC. Each blade has been honed to perfection by artisans with over 30 years of experience, taking Masahiro knives to a level of unparalleled sharpness.
The handle was made with attention to detail characteristic of Japan, made of light magnolia wood reinforced with a plastic ring.
Attention! MS-8 series knives come with two different logos (inscriptions in the Japanese or Latin alphabet).
Useful information:
All Masahiro knives are extremely sharp, so we recommend that you handle them with care.
Masahiro knives should not be used to cut frozen food ( except for the series intended for it).
Do not use knives for anything other than food.
Use wooden or plastic chopping boards for cutting.
Do not wash the knives in the dishwasher, which will damage the cutting edge.
Wash the knife in warm water with dishwashing liquid.
Wipe the knife dry after washing.
