Tetsuhiro knives was founded in 1945 in Sanjo area by Tetsuo Kiryu, a long time disciple of Yoshiyo Knife.
He started specializing in traditional single bevel knives and soon became one very respected brand in the Sanjo area – one of the most famous knife producing regions.
With the stainless steels introduced in the Japanese knife making, they made a big investment on machinery and they managed to produce exceptional knives at a larger scale. That gave them the possibility to make exceptional knives at competitive prices.
Today Tetsuhiro is known as one of the biggest producers of stainless steel, hand finished knives in Japan.
The VG-10 series, have as their core steel the famous VG-10 stainless steel and a softer SUS cladding. They feature a satin / polished finish and an ergonomical western handle.
The Deba is a single bevel knife traditionally designed for filleting small and medium size fishes. Nowadays, it is used by many to break down and filleting small poultry too. Its heavy, sturdy structure allows it to easily cut small bones of fish and poultry but is not recommended on larger bones as it may chip. The 150mm size is ideal to be used for filleting smaller but also medium fish.
