Questions, Answered.
Everything worth knowing before your Deba arrives.
Is the Deba only for cooked meat?
No. Both raw and cooked boneless proteins are within intended use. Use the Deba for slicing and portioning beef, pork, pork belly, poultry, roasts, fish fillets and salmon with controlled slicing strokes.
Can I use the Deba on chicken and poultry?
Yes. Boneless poultry preparation and carving cooked chicken are intended uses. You may cut meat away from the carcass or work around a joint with normal reasonable care, and soft cartilage/connective tissue at a naturally separated joint may be cut with care. Deliberate hard-bone chopping is not intended.
Can the Deba cut bones?
The Deba is designed to work around bones, not deliberately chop through hard bone. Light incidental contact during otherwise normal carving is reviewed based on circumstances. For controlled chopping through suitable light poultry or fish bones, choose Butcher or Kyoku within their approved light-bone limits.
Can I use the Deba for fish?
Yes. Fish fillets, salmon portions, skin-on fillet slicing and boneless fish portioning are intended. Cutting flesh away from the skeleton with controlled technique is allowed with care. Heavy fish-spine or fish-head chopping is not intended.
Can I cut frozen food with it?
No. Avoid frozen meat and other frozen foods, heavy impact chopping, hard shells, twisting, prying and striking the knife with another object.
What cutting board should I use?
Use a wood or suitable food-grade plastic cutting board. Avoid glass, stone, granite, marble, ceramic and metal cutting surfaces; serving plates are not cutting boards.
How should I care for the blade—and can it rust?
Hand wash only, dry promptly and thoroughly, avoid soaking and dishwasher use, and store the edge protected. Deba uses the owner-locked High Carbon Steel Knife standard. Do not promise rust-proof performance. Some marketplace reviews report corrosion, so unusual early corrosion despite proper care should be submitted for review.
What if the knife chips, rusts, breaks or develops a problem?
Nikuya knives are covered by the 1-Year Craft Warranty for qualifying defects in materials or workmanship under normal intended use. Light incidental bone contact during otherwise intended carving is not an automatic exclusion. Chipping, corrosion or breakage are reviewed based on the circumstances, care and task being performed. No separate warranty registration is required.
Can I return the knife if I change my mind?
Eligible unused products may be returned within 30 days of delivery, provided the knife remains unused, unwashed, unsharpened, unmodified, complete and in resellable condition. Used food-preparation products are not eligible for voluntary change-of-mind returns, but defect, warranty and statutory consumer rights remain unaffected.

Sharpness: very sharp Suitability: easily cuts meat like a professional The product is truly a fine knife. It has weight and is very sleek. The knife and handle is superb. Feels like a professional when slicing meats.

Not ideal for all around use. Kinakalawang ito.

Sharpness: The blade is sharp and cuts and slice precisely. (Do it with care, please!) Handle: The handle is sturdy and easy to grip. Compared to my Solingen set of knives, the Nikuya is cook friendly! Cooking will become a breeze! This is made of tungsten metal, so seasoning is expected to prevent rusting! I love my new kitchen companion!

Yes, I got mine.... Very nice... I love Nikuya...
Quality: excellent Appearance: gorgeous slicing knife! Suitability: for slicing and many more This is our second Nikuya knife. We don't own a food business but my husband loves to cook so I got this for him for Christmas (the butcher knife I got for him on his bday last year. He loves to cook and loves it even more now ❤️ with his Nikuya knives.) Would’ve gotten him the 8k set if I were rich 😂🤣. Family meal times are precious. 🫶
