Carbon White Steel No. 2　 Deba-knife　blackened finish Cherry Wood Octagonal Handle

Compact yet versatile, this knife bridges the gap between a standard Santoku and a petite petty knife. With a broader blade than a petty, it handles meat, fish, and vegetables with ease. Its stability on the cutting board makes chopping effortless, while the wide blade allows you to scoop ingredients directly—making it reliable enough to serve as your main kitchen knife.

The blade is crafted from AUS-8 stainless steel, known for its excellent balance of sharpness and durability. Resistant to rust and easy to re-sharpen, it is perfectly suited for everyday use. The surface features a distinctive nashiji (pear-skin) finish, which not only provides an elegant look but also helps reduce food sticking for a smoother cutting experience.

The handle is made of natural olive wood—hard, durable, and comfortable in hand. Each piece has a unique grain pattern, giving every knife a one-of-a-kind character. Over time, the wood develops a rich patina, deepening in beauty and enhancing the sense of attachment with continued use.

Ideal for those who find a full-size Santoku too large but a petty knife too limiting, this compact all-rounder is especially practical in kitchens with limited storage space. It truly embodies the concept of “small but mighty.
