A beautiful single-edge deba with a kurouchi finish.
It seems to be quite difficult to find a blacksmith prepared to make a deba we've found as there is a lot of work involved. Thankfully Nishida was prepared to make some for us and they are stunning. Used primarily for boning and filleting fish you can also use them for veg. They are a sturdy knife with a thick spine and can be used for heavier tasks such as fish heads but not for meat bones or you risk chipping.
This particular deba has the traditional kurouchi finish (also known as a blacksmith finish which helps protect the steel) on one side, and on the other a beautiful mirror finish.
