Kitchen Knife Deba Kunitaka Refurbished 6232

Deba knife, blade length 17.7cm, 202g. The spine near the heel is approximately 7.1mm thick. It is engraved with 保険 国光 (Hoken Kunitoshi), but it seems to be an old brand. Despite the Kunitoshi name, the brand is not found at all in the used market. It is a genuine Kasumi made by laminating soft iron and steel. It features no ura-suki (hollow grind on the back), and conversely, the front side is concave. It has a very retro feel. The handle has been replaced with a new one and appears to be usable for a long time to come. It has been thoroughly sharpened, honed, and polished.
