Our master craftsmen employ ancient techniques passed down from generation to generation, crafting knives of the highest quality. These knives are forged from a single piece of high carbon steel and endure extreme temperatures that reach into the thousands within a burning furnace, requiring unmatched skill to achieve perfection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur handmade Yoshihiro Honyaki knives are forged with extraordinary precision by artisans with over 50 years of experience in the traditional methods of Japanese sword making. Honyaki, meaning \"true forged,\" reflects the pinnacle of Japanese knife craftsmanship. Using a single piece of White Steel #2 with a Rockwell hardness of 65, the steel is heated in hearths to scorching temperatures, quenched in cool water for hardness, and then meticulously polished to a brilliant mirror finish. The result is a blade that combines exceptional sharpness, strength, and a stunning aesthetic, blending performance and beauty seamlessly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Yoshihiro Honyaki knives are complemented with a traditional Japanese-style handcrafted Ebony wood handle, affixed with a Water Buffalo horn bolster, providing both elegance and functionality. A protective wooden Saya sheath is included to safeguard the blade and enhance the knife's appearance when not in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Deba knife is a heavy-duty tool designed for filleting and butchering whole fish. Its weight allows it to easily cut through the heads and bones of a fish, while the pointed tip is perfect for separating the flesh from the bones. Though it can also be used for chicken and meat, it is not suitable for cutting through large bones. A staple of traditional Japanese knives, the Deba knife is essential in any chef's kitchen, elevating even the simplest tasks with its combination of beauty, strength, and precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"specs\" class=\"tab-content\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKnife Specs:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHRC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 65\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Honyaki Mirror Polished\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e White Steel #2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdge Angle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Edged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBolster Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water Buffalo Horn (color varies)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Octagonal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStain Resistant:\u003c\/strong\u003e No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSaya Cover:\u003c\/strong\u003e Magnolia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Yoshihiro Cutlery","offers":[{"title":"6\" (150mm)","offer_id":37098990272699,"sku":"HYDEMI150EHMS","price":899.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"6.5\" (165mm)","offer_id":37098990305467,"sku":"HYDEMI165EHMS","price":949.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"7\" (180mm)","offer_id":37098990239931,"sku":"HYDEMI180EHMS","price":999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"7.5\" (195mm)","offer_id":37098990338235,"sku":"HYDEMI195EHMS","price":1099.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"8.25\" (210mm)","offer_id":37098990207163,"sku":"HYDEMI210EHMS","price":1199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0505\/4778\/5915\/products\/yoshihiro-honyaki-mirror-finished-deba-japanese-sushi-fillet-chef-knife-main.jpg?v=1753477813"},{"product_id":"yoshihiro-mizuyaki-water-quenched-honyaki-mirror-finished-white-steel-1-usuba-220mm-kama-gata-with-sterling-silver-double-bolster-octagonal-ebony-handle-and-chinagashi-indented-ebony-saya","title":"Yoshihiro Mizuyaki Water Quenched Honyaki Mirror-Finished White Steel #1 Usuba 220mm Kama Gata with Sterling Silver Double Bolster Octagonal Ebony handle and Chinagashi Indented Ebony Saya","description":"\u003cstyle\u003e\n        #specs {\n            padding: 15px;\n            border-radius: 10px;\n            box-shadow: 0 4px 12px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);\n            margin-bottom: 20px;\n            max-width: 800px;\n            margin: auto;\n        }\n\n        #specs h2 {\n            text-align: center;\n            margin-bottom: 10px;\n            font-size: 1.5em;\n            font-weight: normal;\n            letter-spacing: 0.05em;\n            text-transform: uppercase;\n        }\n\n        ul {\n            list-style-type: none;\n            padding: 0;\n            margin: 0;\n        }\n\n        li {\n            display: flex;\n            align-items: center;\n            font-size: 1em;\n            padding: 6px;\n            margin-bottom: 2px;\n            word-wrap: break-word;\n        }\n\n        #specs strong {\n            flex: 0 0 auto;\n            min-width: 120px;\n            \/* Set a minimum width *\/\n            margin-right: 10px;\n            \/* Added right margin for extra horizontal spacing *\/\n        }\n\n        #specs span {\n            flex: 1;\n            \/* Ensure span takes up remaining space *\/\n        }\n\n        \/* Hover effect on li items within ul *\/\n\n        #specs ul li:hover {\n            background-color: rgba(0, 123, 255, 0.1);\n            transition: background-color 0.3s ease;\n        }\n\n        \/* Mobile adjustments *\/\n\n        @media (max-width: 768px) {\n            #specs {\n                padding: 10px;\n            }\n            #specs h2 {\n                font-size: 1.3em;\n            }\n            li {\n                font-size: 0.9em;\n                padding: 4px;\n            }\n            #specs strong {\n                min-width: 100px;\n                \/* Adjusted for smaller screens *\/\n                font-size: 0.9em;\n                \/* Reduced strong font size *\/\n                margin-right: 8px;\n                \/* Reduced right margin for mobile *\/\n            }\n        }\n    \u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCurrently taking back-orders, please contact us at info@echefknife.com\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHonyaki translates as \"true forged\" and represents the purest reflection of the traditional art of Japanese sword making.

A single piece of White Steel #2 with a hardness rating of 64 on the Rockwell scale is heated in high-temperature hearths, quenched in cool water for hardness, and finished with a brilliant mirror polish. This process creates knives that blend stunning aesthetics with exceptional performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Yoshihiro Honyaki knives feature a traditional Japanese-style handcrafted premium Ebony wood handle, enhanced with a Water Buffalo horn bolster.

Its heft allows for clean cuts through the heads and bones, while the smaller pointed tip efficiently files the flesh away from the bones. Although primarily intended for fish, the Deba knife can also be utilized for chicken and meat; however, it is not recommended for cutting through large bones. As one of the essential traditional Japanese knives, the Deba knife is a powerful component in the repertoire of many chefs.
