What is Deba knife?Â
Deba knife is one of the traditional Japanese style knives and invented in Sakai,Osaka more than 300 years ago. Among other Japanese style knives, it is thicker and heavier so does not chip easily.
About "Ginsan" Silver-3 Steel
High grade material âGinsanâ is originated from Yasuki Hagane commercialised by Hitachi Metals,Ltd. This over 1000 year-traditional ironmaking method is called Tatara, which refines iron sand into Tamahagane (mostly used in sword blades).
These days, âGinsanâ is commonly used in high grade cutlery products and preferred by a number of professional chefs. It contains more than 12% of Chromium that makes superb sharpness and durability. It is comparable to some high grade carbon steels such as Blue steel and white steel but far more rust resistant.

Handle: Plywood with Bolster
Plywood handle is mostly used in professional chef knives. It is easy grip and reduces fatigue when holding long hours. Bolster shuts out water coming inside which causes damage on the handle. It also gives good weight balance of blade and handle.
Â
Each knife comes with an individual knife box, which is good for a storage when not used and is presentable for gift purposes. Use of knife sheath is recommended only when you take the knife outside.
All the knives are pre-sharpened to the optimal result. They are ready for the first cut!Â

Kaz's Knife "No worries, Minor-Issue Warranty"
Having been used for a while, even good knives can get chipped and rusty as seen in the above video, but don't worry!Â
Most of the minor issues can be fixed by sharpening on a #400-#1000 whetstone. We have tutorial videos for you to learn how to use whetstone. However, it might seem a bit hard work to get it done by yourself.
Kaz's knife is offering "Minor-issue warranty" which covers small chips and rust on the knives you purchased from us. You can always contact us when you feel your knife became dull, chipped, rusty, etc. We fix those minor issues and send the sharpened knife back to you, mostly for free of charge! (depending on how much work is required, also you bear the postage for sending the knife to us)
(*) Please be advised, we do not warrant major issues caused by misuses such as dropped, cutting bones or frozen food, putting too much force into hard materials, etc.

Three merits to have good, quality kitchen knives
1. Better sharpness
Improving the cut quality of the kitchen knife, we can promise that "your cooking will be more delicious", "your cooking time will be reduced", and "cooking will be more fun".
2. It is easy to re-sharpen
Since quality kitchen knives do not have distortion, sharpening will become easier. Just as important as the cut quality of a kitchen knife is that it is easy to sharpen.Â
3. It retains its sharpness for longer
If you use quality kitchen knives, you can extend the intervals between when you need to re-sharpen.
