Masamoto Sohonten Custom Deba Knife - Used, Sharpened

Masamoto Sohonten Deba knife, used and recently sharpened.

According to the original owner, this deba knife was customized with a narrower blade for cutting bone. It has since been maintained to resemble a Miroshi knife.

Initially, there were many chips, but they were smoothed out using whetstones from #220 to #400, #1000, #3000, and #8000.

Due to the customization, there is almost no remaining ura-suki (hollow grind on the back), and the blade is flat, but the steel is still intact.

The steel type is unknown, but it was not difficult to sharpen and sharpened smoothly, resulting in a sharp edge. It is suspected to be a white steel type, similar to Yasuki steel.

Finished with a sharpness suitable for a Miroshi knife, not too sharp and not too dull. If you intend to use it for cutting bone, it would be better to dull the edge slightly more.

This sharpening is done as a hobby, so it is not perfect. Also, due to the steel type, rust may appear during shipping. Please be aware of this in advance.

Shipping will be via Nekoposu (standard mail). If you prefer, we can upgrade to regular shipping for an additional ￥500.
