(...) A deba is a thick, heavy, traditional single-bevel knife used for fish. It makes it possible to slice off the head and separate the flesh from the backbone in one clean, precise stroke. It is also used for chopping, effortlessly, thanks to its weight.

which results in an extremely keen edge that is easy to sharpen.

The 90/10 bevelled blade is for right-handed use only.
