Mori Kajiya Deba-bocho 105mm Aogami#2

So tidy. Mori san is clearly a perfectionist - you can see it in every one of his blades. His kurouchi finish is a deep and attractive black. Hatsuke edge grinding has a one-pass impression that sparkles. 

Picture it. Twenty, no thirty fish in a catch or fishmonger find, no larger than pan-size, waiting to be filleted for the freezer with heads, tails and innards removed. What knife do you want? This knife. 

Yes, it's a specialist fish knife but equally adept at breaking down crustaceans and poultry pieces, and slicing effortlessly through skins. These are not the times you want inadequate sharpness or a great long cutting edge. What you need is focus! This modestly sized deba will give it to you, and at a modest price.
