Deba Knife Tokyo Suzuya Refurbished 6293

Deba knife. Blade length 14.9cm, 175g. The spine is approximately 6.3mm thick near the heel. It is engraved with Tokyo Suzuya, but this appears to be an older brand, as it's only found on the used market. This is a genuine Kasumi construction, with soft iron laminated onto steel. Although it's slender, it has a decent thickness, so it's likely not an Aideba (a thicker Deba). Rust marks have been mostly removed, but upon close inspection, faint marks and small scratches remain, so please examine the photos carefully. The handle has been replaced with a new one, and it should be usable for a long time to come. It has been thoroughly sharpened, honed, and polished. Please see my profile for details on the restoration process.
