Deba:
The Deba is one of the first knives a sushi chef would use when preparing fish. Mainly used for filleting fish but can also be used for doing some poultry work.
These knives, and a considerable amount of skill on the chefs part, are the reason sushi looks so good and why the fish is cleaned so perfectly. Done properly, the bones will be in one pile with almost no meat on them and the meat will be completely bone-free, perfect fillets.
Most debas are single bevel meaning the knife is ground on one side only and the back side of the knife is flat. Single bevels knives have more acute angles on their edges that excel at cutting softer, thinner product like fish but in return require a different skill set to use and sharpen.

About the Petty
“Petty” is the Japanese word for a paring or utility knife and comes from the French word “petite”. It’s perfect for hand peeling fruits and veggies, but also equally as handy for small work on a cutting board.
If you feel uncomfortable with large knives, start with this shape. You really can get a lot done with a 120mm or 150mm petty knife.
Petty knives can be as small as 75mm and as large as 180mm, so there’s something to fit any hand, big or small.

About the Nakiri
Under-utilized in the western kitchen, the Nakiri’s flat blade is meant for the push/pull chopping of vegetables. Since the entire flat edge of the knife touches the cutting board at once, you won’t be turning the vegetable into an ‘accordion’, pieces that are still connected by a thread after you’ve cut them.
The added weight of the blade allow it to fall through food more easily while you chop, so the knife does more of the work for you.
The Nakiri blade shape is a traditional Japanese knife shape, designed for the task of cutting vegetables – a knife that will be appreciated in the hands of a prep cook with mountains of veggies to prepare every day.
Recently, many Nakiris find their way into home kitchens – it’s a perfect knife for vegetarians and veggie lovers.

Yoshimi Kato – Bunka 170mm – Kurouchi AS
Yoshimi Kato
Yoshimi Kato apprenticed at Kanehiro Hamono and then apprenticed under the guidance of Hiroshi-San (his Father in Law) who has also taught great blacksmiths like Yu Kurosaki. Yoshimi Kato strives to continuously improve his skills day by day working from Takefu knife village. Unusual for a blacksmith, Kato-San does not favor a particular steel. He is skilled with all steels that he uses. He believes that heat treating is where you should pay the most attention.
These blades are hand forged with Aogami Super. This steel is really easy to sharpen, takes a brilliant edge, cuts like silk and is super rugged for its hardness. They are then clad in softer stainless steel to help with any maintenance issues.
Aogami Super ( Blue Super Steel ) is an improved version of Blue # 1. For Blue Super (Aogami Super or AS) they add more carbon for hardness. Te extra Vanadium gives extra toughness and creates smaller carbides. Blue Super is often considered by blacksmiths, to be the best carbon steel for knife making in Japan.
Bunka:
Bunka knives are general purpose knives tackling a wide range of common kitchen tasks. Their reverse tanto profile gives the knives a dexterous and delicate tip and a unique and eye-catching aesthetic. These can be used any time a Gyuto or santoku might be called for. Since Banno Bunkas have fairly flat profiles they are most adept at push cutting and chopping rather than rock chopping.
