Because of the old and used item, the products may have a rust and damages. Occasionally, the knife is slightly bent. Please check the photos. I cleaned and sharpened up this knife by using whetstone. And now I'm satisfied with the blade condition. The blade is enough sharp to use normally though. This product has been sharpened with a medium whetstone, but the sharpness may have decreased due to storage time. This knife is sharp enough for home use, but if you want even sharper blades, you will need to sharpen it with a finishing whetstone. Please be sure to wash before use. Please watch the pictures carefully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor your reference: [ General information ]\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeba Hocho is one of the Japanese traditional knife. \u003cbr\u003eWe call it Deba-Bouchou or just Deba. \u003cbr\u003eDeba is originally for fish, but recently it is also used to cut meat. \u003cbr\u003eThe blade length is from about 15 cm to 50 cm. \u003cbr\u003e20 cm is an average.\u003cbr\u003eThe length is better to be fit to the fish size. \u003cbr\u003eThere are various types of Deba knives. \u003cbr\u003eThere are both double-edged and single-edged. Deba is not the only single-edged blade. \u003cbr\u003eThere are right-handed and left-handed ones, but left-handed ones are rare. \u003cbr\u003eSome of the Deba knives have a heavy weight because the weight can cut bones easily. \u003cbr\u003eThe Deba history starts at least before the EDO era but no detailed evidence is there.\u003cbr\u003eThis \"For your reference:\" is a general information.
