An ai-deba is a relatively thinner deba-style knife that is easy to maneuver for fish prep tasks such as cleaning and sanmai-oroshi (three-piece filleting).
This knife is single-beveled and made of stainless steel, so it is rust-resistant and easy to maintain. It is a clean, thinner deba that should feel easy to control.
It has been sharpened and is ready to use upon arrival. Please handle with care when unpacking. The price includes the sharpening service.
It features markings “特殊鋼” (Special Steel) and “昇龍” (Shoryu).
If you want a Japanese fish knife that feels lighter and less intimidating than a thick deba, an ai-deba is a great, practical middle ground.
SHARPENED by a Japanese Sharpener. Razor sharp. The sharpener is in Kyoto, the traditional city in Japan as you know. You can use without maintenance. You don't need to pay maintenance costs after receiving. If any, please feel free to ask, English available.
