Customer Reviews of Bunmei 7-3/5-Inch Deba Knife
Customer Rating:  Summary: Elite Japanese Steel Comment: After doing much research on top quality cutlery, I decided to go with this Bunmei 195mm Deba. This knife is by far the coolest knife I have used. One word of caution: knives produced by Yoshikin, such as this one, are EXTREMELY SHARP! I am not a professional chef, but I do often enjoy preparing sushi, and this knife is the perfect tool to do so. I am a big guy and have large hands, so it is very hard to find a comfortable knife. This knife is perfectly suited for large hands without having to worry about it slipping. Also, I wanted something that I could use to rapidly chop veggies without my knuckles hitting the counter, this provides enough clearance between the handle and the blade to accommodate me (which is why I chose this model over the yanagi sashimi). The blade is magnificent, you have never seen such a finely engineered piece of japanese steel. It is very unique to use a knife that is sharpened on only one side, unlike western knifes that are sharpened on both sides. This gives one the opportunity to slice meat, fish and veggies very thin and precisely. A cool bit of trivia about these knives, is that they are the same knives that the character Hattori Hanzo used to make sushi for the bride in the movie Kill Bill Vol. 1. ;) More Reviews Thick at the back, the broad, 7-3/5-inch blade on this professional-quality Japanese knife for butchering fish and chopping hard vegetables carries enough weight to chop through fish bones. The shape, weight, and wood handle--which has a ridge to ensure a secure grip--are traditional, but the blade is made of thoroughly modern, extra-hard, molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel so it retains its edge longer than high-carbon stainless-steel blades. For clean, low-friction cutting, the edge is "face-ground" on the right side only with a long taper at an acute angle and comes from the factory razor-sharp. This knife should be honed only with a synthetic whetstone or a ceramic whetstone and hand washed. --Fred Brack 
Choosing Appliance -> Mixer Pretty much the same thoughts as the food processor. High quality mixers are great for making bread or other tough jobs. Every kitchen should have one. Be sure that any mixer has all three attachments: paddle, dough hook, and whip. Also, find a spot on the counter where it can be easily accessed at a moment's notice. Choosing Appliance -> Energy-Efficient Refrigerators The EnergyGuide label on new refrigerators will tell you how much electricity in kilowatt-hours (kWh) a particular model uses in one year. The smaller the number, the less energy the refrigerator uses and the less it will cost you to operate. In addition to the EnergyGuide label, don't forget to look for the Energy Star label. A new refrigerator with an Energy Star label will save you between $35 and $70 a year compared to the models designed 15 years ago. This adds up to between $525 and $1,050 during the average 15-year life of the unit. Bunmei 7-3/5-Inch Deba Knife
