This is a Western-style deba knife by Masahisa Higashimoto. Blade length is approximately 16cm. It is single-edged. The steel type is unknown. After sharpening, the boundary between the cutting edge steel could not be seen, so I believe it is made of full steel. Rust marks were present, so I don't think the steel is stainless. I have repaired the rust and scratches, so fine scratch marks remain, but it is generally clean. It is a Western-style deba knife with a Western-style handle, which has been polished and finished with beeswax. It is an old knife, but I have sharpened it, so the sharpness is very good. I think it is a good size for both professionals and general households. Both the cutting edge and the flat surface are almost mirror-finished. It has been finished with Kitayama 8000 grit and Shapton 12000 grit whetstones. It is in a very sharp condition and can be used immediately. ● Size: Blade length approx. 160mm ● Blade thickness: Approx. 5.7mm at the thickest part of the base of the blade ● Overall length: 285mm ● Weight: 261g #knife #deba #16cm #mirrorfinish
