Large, thick and heavy duty by design to avoid bending when applying big power. Deba's are commonly used to cut fish heads in half and, when used with the correct techniques, they can be used to remove and split open the legs, claws of crabs and chop through other types of bones and meats. Those knives are commonly fabricated to have a thickness of up to a full 9mm to provide a maximal blade resistance.
Don’t let the unusual shape and heavier weight of a Deba fool you; they are agile and precise!
