    Hatsukokoro Shirasagi Deba 150mm

    Original price was: 249 €.Current price is: 224 €.
    Hatsu - Kokoro means innocent spirit. A very important wholesaler from Amagasaki city in Hyogo prefecture cooperating with some of the best craftsmen in Japan. The Hatsukokoro brand is their house brand, crafted from undisclosed but some of the most experienced blacksmiths. This single bevel series, made by Tamura Tooru at Myojin Hamono for Hatsukokoro,  is inspired by the Japanese White Egret flower (as its made from White-2 carbon steel). They feature a delicate Migaki (polished) / Satin finish and a beautiful teak wood Wa octagonal handle. The Deba is a single bevel knife traditionally designed for filleting small and medium size fishes. Nowadays, it is used by many to break down and filleting small poultry too. Its heavy, sturdy structure allows it to easily cut small bones of fish and poultry but is not recommended on larger bones as it may chip. The 150mm size is ideal to be used for filleting smaller but also medium fish. Important Note: This is a Carbon Steel knife and not a stainless one. Requires attention and care in its maintenance like quick washing and drying after use, storing in low humidity area and application of mineral oil if not used for some time. Over time it will form a patina that will protect it from rust. In case rust appears, use baking soda on wet blade, leave it for 10 mins and rub carefully with your finger or a soft sponge. In case rust is not removed, contact us for further instructions.
