Mioroshi deba can be thought of as thick yanagi or thinner, longer debas. They can be used to process larger fish down to the final slices.

Smithed by Yoshikazu Tanaka, a top level ‘Dentokougeshi’ blacksmith in Sakai City, Osaka. Tanaka Hamono coaxes excellent edge retention and toughness from Shirogami 2 with a smooth easy sharpening feel.

Manzo, son of famed Sakai sharpener Kambei, carries on the family lineage of extremely high quality wide bevel work. Kambei along with a few other Sakai sharpeners pioneered the style of wide bevel on double bevel knives.

  • This is a carbon steel knife made from hard steel.
  • Carbon steel knives develop a dark patina and require attentive care.
  • Hand wash and dry immediately after use. Do not air dry or clean in the dishwasher.
  • Rust will form with long-exposure to moisture or debris. Remove surface rust gently with a mild abrasive and progress to more aggressive abrasives if needed. Coarse abrasives will leave scratches in most finishes.
  • New deba edges are thin. Avoid excessive twisting to avoid edge damage.
  • Do not use bamboo, plastic, stone or metal cutting surfaces.

Fine Single Bevel

Sharpen on whetstones starting around 1000 grit for micro-bevel work or use a full progression from 400-6000/8000 when lowering the kireba. Don't over-sharpening the ura; only work long enough to flip the burr and polish. Do not use honing rods; instead, strop for burr removal and for as-needed edge maintenance with a borachrome (medium-fine finish) or chromium (fine finish).

Shirogami 2 (White Paper #2)

Carbon (C): 1.05–1.15%| Manganese (Mn): 0.2–0.3%| Phosphorus (P/S): trace

White 2 is a slightly lower|carbon variant (~1.05–1.15% C) offering better toughness and ease of sharpening. Common in Japanese kitchen knives, it reaches ~61–63 HRC and provides a clean, crisp edge. It’s reactive but widely loved for its balance between hardness and maintainability.
