The Wasabi Black 8 ¼ inch Deba embodies Japanese cutlery in shape and construction. A traditional blade shape, the 8 ¼ inch Deba is sharpened along one side for a single-beveled edge that provides clean, precise cuts. Similar in shape and size to classic chef’s knives, the 8 ¼ inch Deba is a multi-purpose blade, finished with a solid, black handle for extreme versatility and utility. The Shun Wasabi Black 8 ¼ inch Deba is suitable for chopping, slicing, and dicing, doing it all with speed and precision.

Wasabi Black knives are a new addition to their terrific Japanese cutlery lineup. Kershaw/Shun has been Japan’s premier blade craftsman for over 90 years. New in 2008, classic Shun craftsmanship matches with contemporary style in the Wasabi Black line. Among the sharpest of knives, the Wasabi Black knives uphold Shun’s commitment to exemplary design and function. Sleek, black handles made of powdered bamboo combined with polypropylene hold the brushed stainless steel blade, balancing comfort and strength. The blades are constructed of Daido 1K6 high-carbon stainless steel for enduring edge retention, requiring less sharpening than other knives. The Wasabi Black knives by Shun is the perfect collection of knives for the chef with a taste for culinary and cutlery fusions.
