kai Seki Magoroku Kinju ST Japanese Deba Knife 165mm (AK-1102), Black

It has some heft, which I like and want in this type of knife. I bought it primarily to butcher whole chickens, and it does not disappoint. With its sharpness from the box, the knife effortlessly goes through chicken joints and cartilage. It is a great value, priced under fifty dollars, and I highly recommend it. If you purchase it, please be careful. The knife is extremely sharp.

Bought this a few years ago as a cheap way to get started learning how to cut fish in a Japanese restaurant. Didnt want to spend a lot on a knife while i was still learning how to use a Deba. But i get compliments on this knife in so many restaurants by so many chefs, and theyre shocked how cheap it was from amazon! Weight is great and durable steel that wont chip easily... the only reason its not 5 stars is because it was not delivered with the proper edge. it helps to be experienced sharpening single bevel knives to really get the best from this knife. The Uraoshi (on the concave side of the knife, the top of the knife and the edge) was not level. Took a decent amount of time on a low grit stone to even it out but its durable steel and now it holds an edge pretty well! Great find

Nice heavy deba knife. It cuts better than any other knife that we have. Great for meat and fish. I had heard that Seki is a reliable brand, so it was no surprise that it cuts so well. My husband loves it for fish filleting.

Es lo que esperaba

The blade needs a cover. The knife is to Sharpe to lay in the drawer .

These Deba have nice weight and sharp easy to cut T/U..

Good price does the job

At first the knife was amazing. It chopped through the fishes center bone with no problem. After a few uses, the blade had a difficult time chopping through bone and ended up chipping/bending along the knife's edge. Good light duty knife but would not recommend this deba to be chopping fish bone.

Couteau de forme traditionnelle deba. L aiguisage est à revoir entièrement ( + polissage) la mitre est en plastique en plus , ce qui casse un peux l elegance. Bon , je recherchais un couteau puissant et celui est conforme a mes attentes et l acier est de bonne qualité.

It's not very sharp right from the start. It is very unbalanced in the hand. If you're not comfortable with a heavy knife edge, I would not use this knife in a professional setting. The haft looks nice.

切れ味最高😃❣️

Buon coltello deba ben bilanciato e pesante quanto deve esserlo, dato il prezzo ovviamente il manico non è dei più belli ma poco importa...acciaio resistente e di facile affilatura su pietra, cosa che dovrà essere fatta spesso soprattutto nella parte della lama verso il nodo

鶏手羽先を10個ほど骨ごと切断してみましたが、硬い骨だと刃が負けて歪みます。叩き切るような方法では使わない方がいいです。圧をかけて切る方がまだ刃のダメージが少ないです。肉の切れ味は素晴らしいです。腕毛も剃れます。
