Japanese Knife Set Usuba 180mm Deba 165mm Sakai Toji 堺刀司 kitchen knife

This Sakai Toji Japanese knife set includes two essential professional knives:


Usuba 180mm (Vegetable Knife): The "Usuba" (薄刃) translates to "thin blade." This knife is a specialist for preparing vegetables. Its thin, flat blade geometry is designed for precise, straight-up-and-down chopping, allowing for clean cuts that minimize cell damage and bruising to delicate produce. It excels at tasks like fine slicing, julienning, and making decorative cuts (katsura-muki).

· Deba 165mm (Boning & Fish Knife): The "Deba" (出刃) is a robust, heavy-duty single-bevel knife primarily used for butchering fish and filleting. Its thick spine and significant weight provide the strength needed to cleanly cut through bones and joints. The 165mm size is versatile, making it suitable for preparing a wide variety of medium-sized fish and poultry.


Both feature traditional octagonal magnolia wood handles for a comfortable and secure grip.
