Ginsan Deba 180mm - Solid Ebony Handle

Heavy-duty cutting power meets exceptional rust resistance. A traditional 180mm Ginsan Deba built for effortless fish butchery.

Hand-forged by Master Shogo Yamatsuka, a certified Traditional Craftsman in Sakai with over 50 years of experience, this "Ginsan Deba 180mm" is a high-performance Japanese butchery knife. It features Ginsan (Silver #3), a premium stainless steel that provides the bite, extreme sharpness, and edge retention of carbon steel while remaining highly resistant to rust.

Master Yamatsuka repeatedly heats and hammers the steel (Hizukuri) through an extended forging process to refine the metal’s microscopic grain structure to the absolute limit. This creates a stout, heavy blade capable of cleaving through tough fish bones and joints while maintaining a durable, chip-resistant edge.

The 180mm blade length is the go-to size for professional chefs and serious culinary enthusiasts handling medium to large fish. Because it is highly resistant to moisture, salt, and acids, post-prep maintenance is drastically simplified compared to traditional carbon steel knives.
