Japanese Deba Knife 110mm Sakai Akimasa 堺章正 kitchen knife

This is a traditional Japanese Deba knife from the renowned Sakai region, crafted under the Sakai Akimasa brand (堺章正). Measuring 110mm in blade length, this compact single-bevel Deba is ideal for precise fish filleting, breaking down small poultry, and handling delicate butchery tasks with its heavy, robust spine and sharp edge.


The knife shows some minor surface rust and light scratches on the blade, which are typical signs of long-term storage rather than heavy use. It has seen almost no actual cutting, remaining in near-unused condition—perfect for collectors or those seeking an authentic, lightly aged piece from Sakai's storied knife-making tradition. With proper care and polishing, it will perform exceptionally well.
