This small deba knife from the GLOBAL-IST series combines the tradition of Japanese knives that have supported Japan's rich food culture with modern functional beauty. It is the perfect knife for those who want to make fish dishes more enjoyable and authentic.

■The "12cm" size is perfect for handling fish at home.
It's the perfect size for filleting fish up to about 30cm, such as horse mackerel, grunt, saury, and mackerel, which are often served at the dinner table. The small blade length makes it easy to perform detailed tasks such as filleting quickly and accurately. Having one makes filleting whole fish bought at the supermarket much easier.

■ Small but reliable and stable grip
Although it is a small deba knife, the handle is specially designed to be stable and easy to grip even when applying force. This allows you to smoothly perform tasks that require strength, such as decapitating a fish. It combines the solid feel of a Japanese knife with the ease of use of stainless steel.

■All-stainless steel integrated structure
The seamless construction from the blade to the handle means there are no gaps where dirt can accumulate, and the knife can be sterilized in boiling water after use, making it safe for those who are concerned about fish smells and hygiene.
