This is a traditional Japanese Deba knife (出刃包丁) made by Tadamune (忠宗作). Deba knives are specialized for filleting fish and cutting through small fish bones, featuring a thick spine and a powerful single-edged blade. The steel blade shows some natural darkening typical of carbon steel, while the sharpened edge retains a clean and beautiful silver finish. The knife has been carefully sharpened with a whetstone and is ready for immediate use upon arrival. The blade is inscribed with the maker’s name, and the original sticker on the wooden handle remains intact, suggesting the knife was stored with minimal use. Overall condition is very good, with only minor marks from normal handling and maintenance.
