This is a steel deba knife. It has been sharpened and polished, but being an older item, it has scratches and signs of use. With a blade length of 15 cm, which allows for good maneuverability, it can handle small fish to medium-sized sea bream without any problems. It has been sharpened, so you can use it right away. There are two chips on the handle. Please check the photos. The handle has a 【handmade】 stamp and is rustic and cute, so I've left it as is, but if you wish, I can replace it with a new handle for an additional 500 yen. If you want a new handle, please comment before purchasing. I cannot accept requests for handle replacement after purchase. The thickness of the spine is about 7 mm at the base. It has a considerable blade thickness and weight, so it can also be used for splitting the head of a sea bream. This is a deba knife that is easy to handle even for beginners. I am, to my shame, a cook, so please feel free to ask any questions. When purchasing, please check the photos carefully and understand that it is a used item before making your purchase. - Blade Shape: Deba knife - Handle Material: Wood (with chips) - Blade Material: Steel - Overall Condition: Sharpened #Masamoto #Aritsugu #Sekimagoroku #JapaneseKnife #Misono #Gresten #Fishing #FishHandling #Beginner #Fishing
