This high-quality Japanese kitchen knife is an Ajikiri (small Deba), expertly crafted by 片岡製作所 (Kataoka Seisakusho) in the renowned blade-making region of 燕三条 (Tsubame-Sanjo), Japan. The knife is produced under license by Martens, representing a collaboration between German and Japanese craftsmanship traditions. Designed specifically for preparing small fish such as horse mackerel and sea bream, this knife features a thin, single-edged stainless steel blade that allows for precise filleting, deboning, and head splitting. The compact size makes it ideal for delicate work while maintaining excellent control. The handle is made from natural wood, offering a comfortable grip and a classic aesthetic. The knife comes in its original presentation box with instruction leaflet, making it suitable for both collectors and practical kitchen use. This item is brand new and unused; the box has only been opened for photography. A fine example of modern Japanese craftsmanship combining functionality and refined design.
