Deba hocho (Japanese: 出刃包丁, literally: pointed carving knife) are Japanese style kitchen carvers used to cut fish, but also chicken and meat. There are different sizes up to a length of 30 cm (12 inches). The deba hocho first appeared during the Edo period in Sakai.

The deba is not intended to chop large diameter bones.
