The asymmetrical blade for right-handers
The deba knifehas a thick blade ideal for lifting fish fillets precisely. This Japanese knife has a 16cm blade that is perfect for preparing small and medium-sized fish, easily separating their heads and allowing them to be cleaned. Its asymmetrical blade, sharpened on one side only, guarantees fine cutting of fish and is suitable for right-handed cooks.
The knife's blade is made of stainless steel reinforced with vanadium and molybdenum, making it more resistant to corrosion and impact. These elements increase the alloy's hardness, which is 57 HRC on the Rockwell scale. This makes your Satake knife easy to sharpen, while maintaining a long-lasting edge.
When necessary, you can stone-sharpen the knife or sharpen it daily with a sharpening gun to maintain its optimum edge. This hardness is a good compromise between ease of maintenance and cutting efficiency.
Lightweight polypropylene handle
The knife's handle is made of polypropylene (PP), a resin renowned for its strength, lightness and resistance to water and grease. A knife with a polypropylene handle is easy to clean.
The oval shape of the handle adapts perfectly to the palm of your hand, offering ergonomics and comfort. These qualities are highly appreciated, especially when cutting for long periods. The sensation of fatigue is reduced.
The handle ends in a stainless steel ring that joins it to the blade. The ring firmly attaches the handle to the tang of the knife, ensuring ideal balance and a perfect seal.
To clean your Satake knife, use only a non-abrasive sponge. After washing, dry your knife immediately and store it in a dry place. Do not put in the dishwasher or leave to soak in the sink.
