Ikkanshi Tadatsuna does one in inox I'm pretty sure, aframes have had them in the past, a bit above your budget though
Doesn't Murray Carter do double beveled debas?
why do you want a double bevel deba? are you a lefty?
Why don't you buy thick heavy gyuto instead or a cleaver? Deba's are not meant to be abused.
I have the Ikkanshi Tadatsuna Inox and it definitely is a beast - 215mm long, weighs 404 grams and the spine at the thickest point is a little over 6mm.
Hmm, that's odd -- the A-Frames website says the Ikkanshi Tadatsuna is 2mm at its thickest point and describes the blade as "very thin." Perhaps they've changed the design?
Seems like the easy answer may be to find the western you like then have it rehandled to Wa or one of Dave M's hidden tang westerns.

If you are willing to go carbon, Watanabe's Kaibou is seemingly the answer to your prayers, described by the man himself as very strong and heavy. I'm assuming you're not bothered about F&F if you are planning to beat on it.

210mm is 5.5mm at spine. Cheap too.
