Tojiro DP Yo Deba 240mm (9.5″)

Westernized version of the deba, fitted with a Yo (‘Western’) style handle. The blade normally features a double-bevel cutting edge, and its shape resembles a gyuto, though it is much more robust and significantly thicker.

BLADE SHAPE:
The geometry of this blade is similar to that of a gyuto, but with a heavily reinforced spine. This feature is designed to prevent damage to the knife when filleting larger fish or when it comes into contact with bones. Ideal for filleting tuna and larger fish weighing 10 kg / 22 lbs. or more! The strong spine and sharp blade are suitable for bone contact and tasks such as slicing pork chops through the cartilage. The knife is very sharp out-of-the-box and is ready to make some (precise) damage to the food you’re about to prepare. Read more about deba knives here!

STEEL:
This Yo-Deba knife is part of the TOJIRO’s DP knife series, featuring popular VG-10 core steel, clad into two layers of softer steel for easier sharpening.

HANDLE:
A durable and fairly light micarta handle is used, allowing for an ergonomic and fatigue-less grip. It features a stainless bolster and three rivets for a secure handle fixation, reducing the possibility of cracks in the handle.
