Fukube Kaji | SHINBU | All-Purpose Deba Knife | 120mm

[Versatile Deba Knife Forged by Noto's Field Blacksmiths] SHINBU [Kokoromai] 120mm (Aogami No. 2, Stainless Steel) by Fukube Blacksmiths, Established in 1908

• Uses: This knife combines the strength of a "deba" knife, specialized for filleting fish, with the convenience of an "all-purpose knife" that can also cut meat and vegetables. The blade is 4mm thick, making it reliable enough to cut through tough fish bones, yet its easy-to-handle 120mm size and double-edged finish make it a versatile kitchen knife with great maneuverability.
• Material (Hybrid): The core material is "Yasugi Steel Aogami No. 2," which maintains a sharp edge for a long time. It is a hard steel, yet tenacious, and even if the blade becomes slightly dull, it still has the characteristic of "soft cutting," meaning it can cut into food. By sandwiching this steel between rust-resistant "stainless steel," the knife maintains professional-grade sharpness while being significantly easier to maintain.
• Maker and design: Each knife is hand-forged by the artisans of Fukube Blacksmithing, a company with over 100 years of history in Noto. The handle is made of natural Zelkova wood, which has beautiful grain and is highly durable, and the more you use it, the more it will fit your hand.
  

"I want to fillet fish, but a dedicated deba knife seems like it would be a lot of work to maintain, and I want to use it for other purposes too." This versatile knife will meet your needs, combining sharpness, ease of use, and ease of maintenance, making it a knife you can use for a lifetime.
