Ikenami Hamono left-handed Deba 210mm
Product Description
Ikenami Hamono is based on Tanegashima island off southern Kyushu in far west Japan, surrounded by deep sea. Their knives have a loyal following of professional users the length of the country - fisherfolk, processors and chefs - buyers who know their knives.
Tanegashima knives are referred to as tanebocho and they are widely known for their high quality. There are four kataha deba knives in the Ikenami Hamono range, with blade lengths at 13cm, 15cm, 18cm and 21cm.
The deba is a knife that a Japanese chef will spend years of training to master. With that training comes the speed and accuracy required in a busy work environment and expertise with longer knives. The 210mm Ikenami Hamono kataha deba is a large knife capable of finely dissecting fish of pretty much any size.
