Deba

The Japanese Deba, or Hon-deba (translating to "true deba"), is a specialised kitchen knife traditionally crafted for the meticulous cleaning and filleting of whole fish. Though its primary focus is on fish, the Deba knife is frequently employed for breaking down and dressing poultry and other meats with small bones. With its robust and thick blade, the Deba facilitates precise work, establishing itself as a crucial tool in Japanese culinary traditions, particularly in the preparation of various seafood dishes.
