Sword making history in Japan dates back over 1,000 years, when master swordsmiths practiced their craft making weapons for warriors. Modern Japanese kitchen knives are a descendant of these renowned swords, as evidenced in the details, ideals, and spirit that have been passed down through generations that go into each tool. This particular knife has a deba shape. It is the tool of choice when filleting a whole fish. The thick spine and one-sided beveled edge make it easy to process a whole fish, from removing the head and cutting through bones, to slicing fillets. Stainless steel, designed for left-handed users.
