This is a Japanese thin Deba knife (薄出刃包丁 / Usu-deba bōchō) by Umai Kobo (美味工房), made in Japan. The Usu-deba is a lighter, thinner variation of the traditional Deba knife, primarily used for fish preparation and precise cutting tasks. The knife has a single-edged steel blade with a blade length of approximately 155 mm and a thickness of about 2.5 mm, offering good balance between strength and control. It is fitted with a traditional wooden handle and black ferrule, giving it a classic Japanese appearance. Please note that this knife shows visible rust and scratches, consistent with prior use. All rust removal was done by hand. The knife is sold as-is and will require sharpening and regular maintenance by the buyer. Sharpness cannot be guaranteed. This item is suitable for users who understand Japanese kitchen knives and are comfortable with maintenance, or for collectors looking for a practical working knife.
