160mm hand-forged Deba — a beefy powerhouse built for big fish breakdown and purpose. Forged from 1075 high-carbon steel with a 70mm heel depth, a 3.4mm spine tapering to 0.5mm this blade brings confident weight and authority to every twist, pull, cut, and chop. The nashiji texture paired with an acid-etched finish balances rugged character and corrosion resistance, revealing the forge’s fingerprint while keeping maintenance practical for heavy use.
The handle is a single piece of desert Ironwood, collected on my travels through SW Arizona. Dense, vividly grained, and stabilized for durability, it sits comfortably in the hand and anchors the knife with natural warmth and one-of-a-kind character. Purpose-built, beautifully finished, and unapologetically singular — a Deba engineered to perform and aged by experience.
