Product Review
Resembling a solid chef’s knife, this 6-1/2-inch Japanese Deba slips easily between flesh and bone and offers a broad blade for transporting foods. Ideal for chopping or boning fish, poultry, and other meats; this sturdy mid-sized knife deftly balances strength with ease of use to produce a versatile kitchen tool. Leveraging a 90-year history of superior workmanship, Shun knives are precision-forged in Japan by renowned blade manufacturer KAI. Combining high-carbon stain-resistant "super steel" with a one-sided, single-bevel design results in an exceptionally strong, razor-sharp blade. Holding its sharpness longer, a Shun knife offers simplified maintenance on top of its superior performance. Flipping the knife over shows a subtly concave backside created to resist sticking and avoid damaging food. Forming a comfortable D-shaped hold, a fused blend of hardwood veneers and resin comprise the unique ebony Pakkawood handle. A traditionally offset stainless-steel bolster protects knuckles while a steel end-cap finishes the piece. Although dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. This product includes a lifetime warranty. -- Amy Arnold
Product Description
The Deba knife is the style choice of Asian chefs for cutting and boning fish and poultry. Because the thicker blade requires less pressure, the razor sharpness of the single-bevel allows bones to separate from flesh with little effort. The well-balanced size makes it manageable for smaller-handed users yet still powerful enough for any professional.Made in the ancient city of Seki, Japan, Shun Pro knives rely on extremely sharp 2.5mm blades, made of a single piece of Japanese VG10 steel for strength, called the Honyaki style in Japan. It offers precision slicing, cutting and chopping that is unprecedented by any of its German competitors. Sharper out of the box than other knives, Shun Pro knives feature a traditional Japanese blade, with a one-sided beveled edge and hollow-ground or concave back. Japanese chefs in particular prefer the single bevel because it can be honed backed to its original sharpness, even after hours of slicing, using a whetstone. In addition, the hollow ground divots on the back produce air pockets that remove friction when slicing, so food releases easily without any loss of flavor. The ebony Pakkawood handle, a highly durable combination of layers of white birch wood and resin, is designed in a ???D??? shape to fit firmly and comfortably in the hand, with the bonus of being dishwasher safe and NSF approved for commercial kitchens.
