Aideba, blade length 16.2cm, 163g, back thickness approximately 4.5mm near the top of the heel. It seems to be a brand from a while back. It's almost impossible to find in the used market. This is a genuine kasumi blade, made by layering soft iron and steel. The rust marks are mostly gone, but a deep mark remains next to the inscription. There is also a little bit of light rust on the back, so please check the photos carefully. Aideba are Deba knives that are thin and long, but they can be used as both Deba and sashimi knives, and the wide cutting edge seems suitable for slicing sashimi. The handle shows some wear, but there are no problems with use, and it seems it can still be used for a while. It has been thoroughly sharpened, the blade has been honed, and it has been polished. Please see the profile for detailed restoration processes.
