The 'Western Deba’ is essentially a Western-styled variation of the traditional Japanese Deba knife that has a double bevel edge. It has a thick, heavy, and durable blade that is specially designed for the butchery of poultry, fish, and crustaceans such as shrimp, lobster, and crab - tasks that are not suited to the relatively thin blades of most Japanese knives. The heel portion of the Western Deba is capable of cutting through the small bones and cartilage of poultry and, when used with the correct technique, can safely be used to remove and split open the legs and claws of crabs.

Important
This is the Carbon steel blade kitchen knife that can get rust and discolor easily, and requires extra care and attention to prevent rust.
United StatesThis is a very heavy duty knife. I have the 165mm blade option, and it weighs in at 12 5/8 ounces. The spine is 6mm at the handle, which is pretty thick. I like the Misono Swedish high carbon steel, and have a number of their knives because I like that steel. It holds an edge without being difficult to sharpen. (Although you have to be comfortable with the discoloration, which I am.) At this point I have a sort of a collection. What I haven't decided is whether I like the Western deba better than the traditional single bevel deba; at some point I may figure that out.
United StatesThis is a nice, well made knife. It’s heavier blade is well balanced and sharp. It works well for my use. Plus I like Dragons and it looks nice.
VietnamExcellent price for quality of the knife
CanadaThis is a classic heavy duty knife by misono but it is not as rust resistant as the other knives in their series so daily maintenance is a requirement or it will develop a patina. Other than that it preforms admirably , sharpening is relatively easy as it is around 59- 60 hrc so you don't need to pull out your diamond whetstone. On a side note the knife is quite heavy so continuous use will be strenuous . Delivery is of course always on point as koki is very responsive and attentive to detail.
RussiaHello, knife lovers. The knife is good, it copes well with fish, poultry and pork ribs, but you need to get used to the weight of the knife.
