Description
This is a used, refurbished Tsukiji Aritsugu thin deba knife. It has been electrically polished to remove rust and stains, so there are polishing marks.
This is a deba knife favored by Tsukiji wholesalers. It's a thinner-bladed type, making it easy to handle for its size and easy to re-sharpen, ideal for those who process a high volume of fish.
Originally a kuro-uchi (blacksmith finish) knife, it has been polished to a steel color. The flat of the blade retains forging marks, giving it a wild, uneven texture.
Made of Shirogami #3 (White Paper Steel #3), it doesn't offer extreme sharpness or exceptionally long-lasting edge retention, but it demonstrates unparalleled effectiveness in situations requiring its size and weight. Compared to Shirogami #1 or #2, its higher impact resistance also makes it suitable for professional use.
It is well-suited for slicing frozen salmon, large fish fillets, and processing monkfish.
The wooden handle had corrosion, which has been shaved off and filled with resin. The corrosion did not reach the tang, so its functionality has been restored.
The blade has been sharpened with a natural蛤刃 (hamaguri-ba - clamshell edge) and a ura-ito-ba (reverse thread edge) finish, anticipating its use for chopping.
The ura-suki (hollow grind on the back) is mostly intact, allowing for ample ura-oshi (back-edge sharpening). How about this for someone who doesn't mind the visual aspect?
Deep rust marks may remain as dimples, and there are minor chips on the edge. Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a pristine item.
The knife has been sharpened for use, but the final edge shape and angle are up to the user. Please purchase only if you are able to perform maintenance and adjustments yourself.
