The Shun Pro Sho Deba Knife (21cm) embodies the heritage of Japanese craftsmanship — bold, balanced, and made for the professional kitchen. Designed for precision but built for strength, the Deba is a traditional Japanese blade used for filleting fish and cutting through small poultry or fish bones with ease.
Handcrafted in Japan, the Pro Sho series combines time-honoured knife-making tradition with modern innovation. Each blade is forged from corrosion-resistant AUS10 high-carbon stainless steel, hardened to 60 (±1) HRC for superior edge retention. Its single-bevel 45° cutting edge delivers extraordinary sharpness and control, while the hollow-ground blade reduces friction for cleaner, more efficient cuts.
An intricate ornamental blade pattern — created through an advanced manufacturing process — gives the Pro Sho its signature refined appearance. The black pakkawood handle, shaped asymmetrically in the traditional chestnut form, provides excellent comfort, balance, and grip for confident handling.
