Tanaka Deba Silver 180mm (7.1")
Built for one job: breaking down whole fish. The Tanaka Deba Silver is a heavy, thick-spined knife that powers through fish heads and bones without chipping — the knife Japanese fishmongers reach for daily.
⚠ Good to know before buying: This deba is single-bevel and ground for right-handed users only. The edge arrives sharpened and ready to use — no setup needed.
Why Ginsan steel: Hardened to 61 HRC, which means the edge stays sharp through long prep sessions — but unlike traditional carbon steel, Ginsan is stainless, so there's no rust worry and no special drying routine. The best of both worlds for a fish knife that gets wet constantly.
The handle: Traditional round magnolia wood — light, grippy when wet, and it keeps the balance forward where a deba needs it.
About the blacksmith: The remarkable performance of kitchen knives may well be a synonym for Shigeki Tanaka. This young skilled craftsman that can boast with his radical design and mastery makes knives that are beloved by people all over the world. Shigeki Tanaka is the fourth generation blacksmith. Due to his excellent knife-making skills, Shigeki Tanaka is one of the most recognizable blacksmiths in the city of Miki.
