Japanese Deba Knife 150mm Masaharu 正春作 kitchen knife

This is a premium Japanese Deba knife with a 150mm blade, hand-forged by Masaharu (正春作), a skilled Japanese bladesmith renowned for traditional kitchen cutlery. The Deba is a heavy-duty single-bevel fish knife, perfect for filleting, breaking down fish, and handling poultry with precision and power. This particular example is in near-new condition, having seen very little use, though prolonged storage has resulted in some rust spots on the blade—these can be easily removed with a whetstone or sandpaper, restoring it to pristine sharpness. Notably lightweight and thinner than most Deba knives in its class, it offers exceptional maneuverability and ease of handling, making it ideal for both professional chefs and enthusiastic home cooks seeking authentic Japanese performance.
