The Yoshihiro Hongasumi Blue Steel Deba Filet Japanese Knife is designed for carving and filleting fish, as well as some meat. A heavy knife with a single-edged blade, this chefs knife made of blue steel cuts easily through the flesh and meat of fish. A traditional hongasumi means this knife is a higher quality kasumi knife, or a knife that was forged by layering softer steel over a hard steel core.
