KAI Shun Pro Deba 4 1/2" (11.4 cm) Blade

The classic Japanese single bevel blade on this new style Shun Pro 4.5 in. Deba delivers perfect precision. Though it can be used for many purposes, the Deba knife is especially prized in Japan for the ease with which it slips between the flesh and bones of a fish. It lifts and supports newly filleted flesh, which allows the guiding hand to perform its task with complete dispatch. The New Style Shun Pro features a beautiful, graffiti etched blade that is made with high carbon VG10 steel, which takes and holds an incredibly sharp edge longer than comparable knives. Premium D-shaped PakkaWood handles nestle comfortably into the curves of the palm, offering control and a secure grip. The wide Shinogi (or blade bevel) makes it easy to sharpen these knives on a whetsone.
