## Description

Kai Seki Magoroku Kinju ST Japanese Deba Knife 180mm (AK-1103)

Review: Simple yet sturdy construction and dangerously razor-sharp right out of the box - This is my first sashimi-type knife purchase for use in a professional kitchen. I wanted a solid knife and I think I got one for the price. Simple yet sturdy construction and dangerously razor-sharp right out of the box. Was able to cut through fish like butter. Even through tough, sinewy bits. Was able to slide right through seared cuts of tuna for clean and unblemished slices. Would probably recommend it as a good starter knife if you are not looking to pay too much. Again, likely not the best knife out there...but FOR THE PRICE I believe it is well worth it.
Review: Good knife for every day use. - I was looking for a knife I could use and my daily sashimi knife in home. This one is being great. Sharp and easy to maintain, its a good option if you cook for hobbie and want a knife to nicely slice your fish.

**Q: Anyone knows the hrc snd steel type on this knife?**
A: According to knifelover.com it is Daido 1K6 high carbon stainless but no details on hardness.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple yet sturdy construction and dangerously razor-sharp right out of the box
*by A***R on August 29, 2017*

This is my first sashimi-type knife purchase for use in a professional kitchen. I wanted a solid knife and I think I got one for the price. Simple yet sturdy construction and dangerously razor-sharp right out of the box. Was able to cut through fish like butter. Even through tough, sinewy bits.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good knife for every day use.
*by R***A on October 23, 2024*

I was looking for a knife I could use and my daily sashimi knife in home. This one is being great. Sharp and easy to maintain, its a good option if you cook for hobbie and want a knife to nicely slice your fish.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Terrific, but requires serious sharpening out of the box
*by P***H on February 16, 2019*

I love the heft and quality of the steel in the knife. For the price it was a steal! However, to use it properly, a "uraoshi" sharpening on the concave side is required, to avoid chipping when filleting fish. Once I had it properly sharpened, which took about 45 minutes through a progression of 5 stones, it was absolutely wonderful, and the edge has been quite durable through nearly three years of use. Keep in mind that a Deba is a very specialized knife, but it does the job it is designed for quite well.
