This Deba style knife is made of Hitachi Metals Yasuki Steel, which holds its sharpness for longer, and is delivered from Sakai, a center of traditional swordmaking crafts. The Japanese style knives "Shouo" Yasuki steel series are manufactured with an emphasis on ease of use for artisans such as sushi and traditional Japanese cuisines chefs. Every knife is handmade in a traditional process, forged by Sakai smiths and carefully honed at Sakai cutlery. The handle is made of magnolia wood with an inlay of water buffalo horn. Use of buffalo ivory enables the blade to be heated, then thrust into the handle, and as the heat cools, the blade contracts, making it more firmly held in the handle.
