Used Seijiro Sakai Kaji Takehiro Deba Knife Blade Length Approx. 16 cm

Step into authentic Japanese blacksmithing with this Seijiro Deba knife, forged in the renowned Sakai cutlery tradition by the blacksmith Takehiro. The Deba is a traditional thick-backed knife built for butchering fish and handling other tough kitchen prep with precision and control.

Sakai, in Osaka, has been a center of fine Japanese blade-making for centuries, prized worldwide for its time-tested forging techniques and beautifully balanced hand tools.

This piece is marked as a "tokusen," a specially selected example of the craft, with a blade length of approximately 16 cm. It is sold as a used item, so it carries the wear of a knife that has already seen real kitchen use. It offers a practical, hands-on way to bring classic Sakai craftsmanship into your own cooking.
