Deba knife, blade length 16.2cm, 229g. The spine is about 8.1mm thick near the top of the heel. It's a Sakai brand, but seems to be from a slightly older era. It's not often seen in the used market. This is a genuine kasumi knife, made by layering soft iron and steel. The rust marks have mostly been removed, but upon close inspection, faint marks and small scratches remain, so please check the photos carefully. The handle has been replaced with a new one and should last for quite a while. It has been thoroughly sharpened, the blade has been honed, and polished. Please see the profile for detailed restoration process.
