Amazon.com Review Resembling a large-scale chef's knife, this 8-1/4-inch Japanese Deba slips easily between flesh and bone and offers a broad blade for transporting foods. Ideal for chopping or boning fish, poultry, and other meats; this sturdy knife is the largest of three Debas in the Shun Pro line of professional cutlery. Its generous size accommodates even the biggest tasks without compromising control or precision.
Leveraging a 90-year history of superior workmanship, Shun knives are precision-forged in Japan by renowned blade manufacturer KAI. Combining high-carbon stain-resistant "super steel" with a one-sided, single-bevel design results in an exceptionally strong, razor-sharp blade. Holding its sharpness longer, a Shun knife offers simplified maintenance on top of its superior performance. Flipping the knife over shows a subtly concave backside created to resist sticking and avoid damaging food. Forming a comfortable D-shaped hold, a fused blend of hardwood veneers and resin comprise the unique ebony Pakkawood handle. A traditionally offset stainless-steel bolster protects knuckles while a steel end-cap finishes the piece. Although dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. This product includes a lifetime warranty. -- Amy Arnold
