Tojiro Deba Aogami #2 Damascus 165mm (6.5″)

TOJIRO Deba Damascus Aogami #2 is a medium-sized deba designed fish lovers and professional chefs. The blade thickness is at hefty 7mm (0.28″), the blade length is 165mm (6.5″), so it is suitable for filleting medium-sized fish. The knife handle is made from traditional magnolia wood with the ferrule from buffalo horn. It will be difficult to find a more traditional, classic deba knife than this one!

This deba features a beautiful Damascus pattern. The term damascus is used for stunning water-like patterning that emerges when the central core of the blade (cutting edge) is made with a harder steel and wedged between more than two layers of milder, more pliable steel. Damascus in itself has no practical value, but definitely adds aesthetic as well as actual value to the knife. It is undoubtedly the most known and appreciated look in Japanese kitchen knives.

The blade will develop patina! The knife is forged from Aogami #2 steel, the hardness of around 62-63 HRC and is intended for the more demanding user who can handle and take care of it. The advantage of such a steel is that it has a very fine, gentle sharpness, is easy to sharpen and stays sharp for a very long time. Ballistol oil is recommended for the care of such blades.
