Molybdenum Vanadium Stainless steel
MV is a high carbon, low chromium stainless steel that has proven, over time, to be a very good compromise between toughness, edge retention and resistance to corrosion.
It has added Vanadium to give the steel more hardness. This steel is very easy to sharpen to a razor edge, but it will dull relatively quickly compared to high-carbon steel.

Deba
Deba Knife (出刃包丁 – pronounced: Deba Bōchō) literally translated from Japanese means ‘pointed carving knife’. The Deba is not a carving knife though but rather a ‘carver’ of fish and mainly applied to breaking down whole fish.
The Deba Knife is traditionally used for cleaning, filleting and beheading whole fish but the sturdy blade and heavier weight allows it to break down other meats and poultries with small bones but is not suited for cutting through thick bones. Like with most Traditional Japanese knives the Deba is best designed for a single or specific purpose, fish filleting.
The Deba knife is a heavy, robust knife featuring a thick, wide blade with a pointed tip. The thick blade and heavyweight on the heel allow for heavier duty work while the middle of the blade creates clean cuts. The pointed tip is used for precision work and helps you to feel the bones of the fish when filleting. The Deba has a single-bevel edge allowing it to be extremely sharp. Traditional Japanese knives characteristically have single-bevel edges. Most single-bevel knives are right-handed so if you are left-handed make sure to request.

Richard Steyn –
My first deba. Was a knife I was not sure of so opted for this budget option. I must say, there is nothing budget about performance. Fit and finish for the price also really good and also just has a cool look to it, I get allot of people asking me about it. The steel is much softer than more expensive knives but I find this to be great for going through some chicken wing bones or fish bones for a stock for example. It will dull quicker but won’t chip the edge. Easy to sharpen and holds the edge pretty well IMO. Give it a go!
Thanks Neil and Jhono, as always you guys rock.
