Deba Knives

The deba knife is a Japanese knife used for filleting fish, poultry and meat.

It is characterised by its shape, with a slightly curved edge that is sharpened on one side only. It is usually not very long, though it is wide and normally thick, which makes it heavier than a Western knife. But don’t let that fool you, because it is a knife with which you can do very delicate and varied work.

Since the edge is on one side only, you need to consider whether it is for left- or right-handed use. The vast majority are for right-handed users, but there are deba knives for left-handed users.
