[Ye Tian] Damascus Series 34-Layer 9-Chromium Steel - Deba/Poultry Knife - (Single Bevel 18cm Left & Right)

https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/15696236.jpg "Deba Knife/Poultry Knife" Single Bevel 18cm The Deba knife is a traditional Japanese "sashimi knife." Unlike the Yanagiba, the Deba features a wide blade and a thick spine, specifically designed for the meticulous dissection of fresh fish. Its substantial blade provides better leverage when filleting, ensuring you can confidently cut through bones or detach fins without worrying about chipping. The sharp tip allows for precise targeting of areas needing attention. After dissection, the Yanagiba is used for slicing. These two knives complement each other perfectly. https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/15696237.jpg "9 Chromium High Carbon Steel Core" With a Rockwell hardness of HRC58°-60°, this steel core maintains high hardness while incorporating rust-resistant metal elements for exceptional corrosion resistance. Whether for home or professional use, maintaining this knife becomes effortless. https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/15696238.jpg "Single Bevel 34-Layer Damascus Pattern" Damascus steel originated in the 3rd century in the Damascus region of the Middle East, known for its exceptionally sharp and resilient high-carbon steel. Knives crafted from this material were precious treasures of craftsmanship. While its original steel properties cannot be replicated today, contemporary bladesmiths achieve the beautiful Damascus pattern by layering steels of varying hardness, followed by pickling and grinding. Ye Tian then applies a Sanmai construction technique, encasing the Damascus steel around a 9-chromium steel core, bringing together strength, beauty, and sharpness in one blade. https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/15697304.jpg "Each Piece is Uniquely Beautiful" https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/15685735.jpg https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/15685736.jpg "Classic Japanese Wooden Handle Design" The traditional Japanese wooden handle can be replaced by the original Ye Tian factory, eliminating the worry of discarding the entire knife if the handle is damaged. https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/15696243.jpg "Artisan Hand-Beveled Edge" With decades of experience in sharpening, our masters hand-beveled each knife, imbuing every Ye Tian blade with exceptional sharpness. Superior steel deserves the ultimate sharpness bestowed by a skilled sharpening craftsman, allowing you to cut through any ingredient with a smooth, effortless glide. https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/15514913.gif "6mm Thick Spine for Easier Bone Cutting and Fin Removal" When preparing fresh fish, cutting bones and removing fins are essential steps. Thin-bladed knives are unsuitable for this task; a thick Deba knife is required to prevent blade chipping. You can either press down on the spine to break bones or use a chopping motion, both being effective and comfortable. https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/15691737.jpg https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/15099428.png Damascus Series - Waxwood Handle "Deba/Sashimi Knife" https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/15685741.jpg https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/15685855.jpg *Ye Tian knives are hand-ground and measured, so slight variations in weight, dimensions, and natural wood color may occur.

Clean with water or a mild detergent only. Dishwashers and dish dryers are not recommended as they can affect the lifespan of the wooden handle. 2. After washing, allow the knife to air dry in a cool place. Avoid direct sunlight, which can shorten the life of the wooden handle. 3. Do not use scrubbing pads or similar cleaning tools, as they can damage the blade's surface and reduce its service life. [Maintenance During Food Preparation] 1. Always wash thoroughly after cutting acidic or sticky foods. 2. Always thaw frozen foods completely before cutting them with the knife to prevent damage. 3. Use the knife on a cutting board. Using it on hard surfaces like concrete, tiles, or porcelain plates will accelerate blade wear. 4. Slicing knives are suitable for paring and slicing, but not for chopping hard ingredients, which can cause edge rolling or chipping. If you need to process ingredients with bones, a cleaver is recommended. [Handle Maintenance] 1. Under normal use, the wooden handle does not require special care. To enhance its texture and lifespan, you can apply edible beeswax for maintenance. 2. Important Notes: * It is not recommended for non-professionals to attempt sharpening with whetstones or similar tools. * Dishwashers and dish dryers are not recommended for cleaning.
