Buy ✔️ H&K Nakagawa Hatsukokoro 165mm Deba Ginsanko Stainless Ebony Black Buffalo Horn 😀

These knives are ideal for the individual that is looking for a Japanese knife with the edge formation and cutting feel of carbon steel but which is rust-resistant.

Deba are an old Japanese knife style intended for fish butchery, it is a heavy knife that is capable of fine and tough work in fish butchery but is not designed for other types of butchery and can chip of thick bones if used incorrectly.

Nakagawa-san’s knives are characterized by excellent heat control during forging and a very thorough heat treatment creating knives that have superb edge formation and edge life with good toughness. His carbon steels are usually easy to sharpen across most steel types. Nakagawa-san’s reputation as one of a few blacksmiths in Sakai to forge Ginsanko and VG10 stainless steels that results in excellent edge life and toughness is well earned.

This knife will perform best at a lower finish polish, 3-4K being the best edge for fish butchery.
