Global G-7R Deba Knife 18 cm

Description

The deba represents the essence of the traditional Japanese processing of whole fish, and the Global G-7R brings this tradition to life with modern technology. Its 18 cm of robust blade cut through spines and cartilage that would destroy conventional knives. Likewise, its traditional asymmetric geometry (70/30 for right-handed users) concentrates all the force in a dominant bevel that cuts cleanly without splintering bones.
With a considerable weight of 180 g, the G-7R generates the inertia needed to section the heads of large fish with controlled blows. However, the Cromova 18 steel tempered to 56-58 HRC keeps enough toughness to withstand impacts without chipping. And in addition, the thick 6 mm spine provides rigidity for lever techniques when separating fillets. A blue polyethylene board absorbs impacts, protecting the edge during forceful cuts.

Why does the Global G-7R deba dominate in Japanese fishmongers?

Master sushi chefs value how the weight of the G-7R works in their favour, not against them. In fact, the mass concentrated near the edge allows clean cuts through backbones with minimal effort. Afterwards, the robust tip separates the head from the body without flexing, keeping an impeccable presentation for fresh fish displays.
The traditional asymmetric edge requires specific technique but rewards you with cuts of surgical precision. Meanwhile, the Global metal handle modernises the grip without losing the functionality of the classic deba. To maintain the characteristic 70/30 bevel, the white Global MS5 120-grit stones perform the initial grinding before the final honing.
