Made in Sakai, the home of blades, This is a genuine Sakai-made forged deba knife from Sakai Ichimonji Yoshikuni, of high quality. Brand new, unused. Blade length: 180mm (6 sun) The hagane (steel) is high-hardness and retains its edge well, using high-quality Aoniko steel. This is a forged deba knife carefully crafted by blacksmiths in Sakai, combining hagane and forged iron. Sakai's unique forging method makes the hagane's metal structure dense and uniform, resulting in high hardness. The blade is also sharpened by Sakai's blade craftsmen, with a full, sharp edge including the uraoshi (back sharpening) and ko-ba (small edge), resulting in excellent sharpness. Right-handed single-edged, it cuts very well! The machi (heel) and mune (spine) are also beautifully polished, designed to be gentle on your fingers and hands. The handle is an easy-to-grip octagonal shape, with a high-quality Suigyu (water buffalo horn) white octagonal handle at the kashira (ferrule). This is a high-quality deba knife, with the skills of Sakai craftsmen poured into every detail. Comes with a traditional craft industry seal to guarantee quality! Shipping included. Price is firm. Thank you. Sakai Blade, Blue Steel, Steel Deba Knife Long-lasting sharpness Excellent sharpness Prone to rust Sakai Ichimonji Yoshikuni
