The Deba has a thicker base and a thin, sharp tip, making it ideal for efficiently disassembling various types of fish, poultry, and game. The lower quarter of the blade can be used for chopping, pounding, or breaking bones, while the upper one-sixth is dedicated to delicate tasks such as filleting fish and separating various parts of ingredients. Additionally, the single-bevel design allows you to use the flat side against fish bones and separate the flesh from the bones at an angle, reducing the amount of meat left on the bones during fish dissection.
