Sakai Takayuki INOX Deba 165mm

The Sakai Takayuki Inox Deba 165mm is a traditional single-bevel Japanese filleting knife engineered to handle the demanding tasks of breaking down fish and light poultry with absolute ease. Crafted by Aoki Hamono in the historic knife-making hub of Sakai, Japan, this blade seamlessly combines timeless geometry with modern, low-maintenance materials.

Forged from high-grade Inox (AUS-8) stainless steel, it provides the exceptional sharpness and precision of a traditional single-bevel edge while eliminating the high rust risk associated with carbon steel in damp, salty kitchen environments. Featuring a substantial 7mm thick spine, this knife possesses the heavy, solid momentum needed to confidently split fish heads and slice through dense cartilaginous bones without chipping. Outfitted with a beautifully contoured, rounded Japanese magnolia wood Wa-handle, it ensures an ergonomic, secure grip that stays comfortable in the hand even through long hours at the butchery station.
