Description

Discover this traditional deba knife hand-forged in Japan's prestigious Sakai region! This 15 cm Nakamura Kaishin Saku WS2 deba knife, crafted by expert artisans and carefully sharpened by master Ajioka-san, embodies the perfect blend of ancestral know-how and modern performance. It will accompany you with precision in all your fish preparations.

The deba knife with a high-quality blade

The blade adopts the ancestral San Maï three-layer technique: a rigid steel core is forged and then covered with a softer, folded-over layer of steel. This method balances the blade's hardness and protects its core.

The blade of your Japanese kitchen knife has a core of Shirogami#2 steel (also known as White Paper Steel 2), enriched with 1.2% carbon. This gives it a high hardness of 61HRC on the Rockwell scale, guaranteeing long-lasting edge retention and precise cutting.

Then, the soft-iron casing ensures controlled flexibility for impact resistance and longevity. The blade receives a refined Kasumi polished finish, accompanied by hand-engraved kanjis, signalling its handcrafted authenticity.

Your handcrafted Japanese knife benefits from the asymmetrical cutting edge typical of Japanese deba knives. This bevelled edge is ideal for right-handed users, enabling them to make cuts in a single movement.

An elegant handle for this handcrafted Japanese knife

The handle is made of magnolia wood, appreciated for its strength, resistance to humidity and delicate, light-tone veining.

It is octagonal in shape, perfect for a stable, comfortable grip during prolonged use. The white buffalo horn bolster adds a unique, authentic visual touch.

The key features of your Nakamura knife

  • San Maï and Shirogami #2 heart: strength and precision
  • 61 HRC: long-lasting edge
  • Kasumi polished finish: refined aesthetics
  • Octagonal magnolia handle: ergonomic and durable
  • Forged and sharpened by hand in Sakai: certified traditional know-how

Caring for my Japanese kitchen knife

Clean this carbon knife by hand only, with a soft sponge and a non-abrasive product. Dry immediately to avoid oxidation, then store in a dry place. Avoid the dishwasher and prolonged soaking in the sink. A natural patina may appear over time: this is a sign of use and in no way alters its performance. To preserve the edge, sharpen regularly with a Japanese stone.

Focus on the Japanese master sharpener: Tomoyuki Ajioka

Ajioka-san, based in Sakai, the historic capital of cutlery, is a traditional master sharpener with over fifty years' experience. His know-how is passed on to the next generation, with respect for the perfection of the cutting edge. Each blade he sharpens is calibrated to deliver a smooth, delicate and effortless cut. It's this level of expertise, combined with authentic Japanese forging, that gives your Nakamura Kaishin Saku WS2 deba knife its signature excellence!
