The SW Special Stainless Steel Western Deba-Style Multi-Purpose Gyuto (Extra Thick Blade) is an exclusive creation by the artisans at Shoji Workshop.

Combining the thickness and robustness of a Western Deba with the profile of a traditional Japanese Gyuto, this blade excels in versatility — especially when filleting salmon or breaking down medium to large fish. The extra-thick spine and taper from thick to thin give it a satisfying weight and strong piercing capability, offering remarkable balance and control in hand.

What sets this knife apart is its “extra-thick” blade geometry, engineered for toughness and durability. Unlike standard Gyuto, this one handles tougher tasks with ease — making it a truly multi-purpose Western Deba-style Gyuto for both precision and power.

Crafted for chefs who work in fast-paced kitchens, this series uses SW special stainless steel — a rust-resistant material that ensures ease of use and minimal maintenance, perfect for daily professional use.

The handle features a rare, authentic Japanese handcrafted ebony grip, made in Sakai City by traditional artisans. The silver-copper fittings add elegance and durability. With its refined feel and exceptional craftsmanship, it’s a handle worthy of the finest blade — a rare gem of true Japanese heritage.
