Nakagawa Ginsan Ko-Deba 135mm, Japanese fish knife
This deba is a thick single-bevel fish knife for filleting and cutting through heads and small bones. The blade is a practical everyday length. Forged by Nakagawa, it pairs hard, keen Japanese steel with the thin grind and balance that let the blade glide through food with less resistance. The stainless steel keeps it easy to look after from day to day.

Care and everyday use
It is at its best for filleting and breaking down fish. The stainless steel keeps maintenance low: hand wash and dry the blade after use, keep it off bone and frozen food, and touch up the edge on a whetstone when it starts to slow. There is no need to oil the blade, which makes it a forgiving choice for everyday cooking.

Best deba I have owned. Effortless push cuts and the food just falls off the blade.

Lovely knife and a joy to use. A little more blade care than my stainless knives but worth it.
