Knives for Right-Handed Users

Inspired by Zen Buddhism, the Wasabi knife series showcases pure Japanese aesthetics.

Deba Knife

Deba knives (Japanese for protruding blade) are Japanese cleavers primarily used for breaking down fish, chicken, and beef. They are ground on one side, ensuring optimal and straight cutting. This sturdy and heavy knife features a wide and robust blade. The front part of the blade is especially suited for filleting, while the rear part is more robustly built and is mainly used for cutting meat.

Authentic Blade

The polished 15 cm long blade made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel was developed in Japan. The design integrates a distinctive Far Eastern flair with practical hardness of 58±1 HRC for your daily cutting tasks.

Anti-Bacterial Handle

The handle was specifically designed for the Wasabi series and offers a natural antibacterial effect thanks to its unique combination of bamboo powder and polypropylene. The optimal hygiene properties primarily result from the bamboo content of the handle. The black handle, measuring 12.6 cm, fully encases the blade, unlike traditional Japanese wooden handles that are simply attached. This ensures a firm connection between the blade and the handle, preventing dirt accumulation in small crevices. All these features make the Wasabi knife suitable for use in professional kitchens.
