The **Sakai Takayuki Tokujo 03036 deba** is a small but sturdy Japanese kitchen knife. The Deba was originally designed for filleting and preparing meat and fish. The blade is thicker than an average kitchen knife, allowing you to cut through small bones, ligaments and tendons without damaging the knife’s edge. This knife is sharpened on one side while the other side is hollowed out. This ensures that meat or fish does not stick and falls off the blade easily while you are cutting.
## Sakai Takayuki Tokujo: steel with a remarkable grind
The knives are enhanced with a core made from White #2 Steel. Also called Shirogami #2. It is a very pure type of carbon steel which they harden to an extremely high hardness. As such they can apply a very thin grind, making the knives razor-sharp. The knives are not corrosion resistant.

The knives have a one-sided grind. Because of this grind the edge pushes the slices off the blade. To make cutting even easier, the other side of the blade is enhanced with a hollow grind. This subtle cavity means there is always a little air between the ingredient and the knife, for the lowest possible resistance! This allows you to cut wafer-thin, delicate slices.
## Sakai Takayuki Tokujo: handle made from Magnolia wood and buffalo horn
The traditional octagonal handle is made from magnolia wood. This is a light type of wood, both in weight and colour. The crop is made from black buffalo horn. In addition to it looking graceful, the crop also ensures that the knife is perfectly balanced. Take into account that wood and horn are natural products. The product you receive may differ with regard to pattern and colour. The materials used remain the same.
